§47-11-405.


    A.  Upon the immediate approach of an authorized emergency
vehicle making use of audible and visual signals meeting the
requirements of Section 12-218 of this act, or of a police vehicle
properly and lawfully making use of an audible signal or red flashing
lights, the driver of every other vehicle shall yield the
right-of-way and shall immediately drive to a position parallel to,
and as close as possible to, the right-hand edge or curb of the
roadway clear of any intersection and shall stop and remain in such
position until the authorized emergency vehicle has passed, except
when otherwise directed by a police officer.
    B.  This section shall not be construed to require a peace
officer operating a police vehicle properly and lawfully in response
to a crime in progress to use audible signals nor shall this section
operate to relieve the driver of an authorized emergency vehicle from
the duty to drive with due regard for the safety of all persons using
the road or highway.
