Keeping Your Campaign Signs Within Hillsboro City Code
Yielding to Emergency Vehicles
An emergency vehicle for the purpose of this article is a police vehicle (to include a motorcycle), fire truck/engine and ambulance.
When an emergency vehicle is approaching you from either direction, Oregon law (ORS 811.145) requires you to:
- Yield the right-of-way to it, and to do so, you must
- IMMEDIATELY drive to a position as near as possible and parallel to the right edge or curb of the roadway clear of any intersection, and
- STOP and remain so until the emergency vehicle has passed you.
This applies to all lanes of travel. If there are two lanes traveling together in the same direction, both lanes must yield immediately to the right and stop. Do not stop in the middle of the lane or pull to the left to the turn lane or center turn lane.
Emergency personnel are taught to always pass on the left because the law says you must yield to the right. This is for everyone’s safety.
When a police car is behind you, do not pull over wherever you think it is safe. The police officer has decided where they want to stop you and when they activate their lights and/or siren, they know you are supposed to pull to the right. By not stopping, you may elevate the officer’s vigilance; potentially leading the officer to think there may be something more dangerous than just the moving violation.
ORS 811.145 - Failure to yield to an emergency vehicle or ambulance is a $265 fine.
