Relates to the operation of vehicles on approach of authorized emergency vehicles
This bill (A 6564) requires drivers to create a center rescue lane when emergency vehicles (with red lights and audible signals) approach. It directly affects all drivers operating vehicles on roadways, mandating they move to the roadway edges to clear a center lane for emergency vehicles. Key provisions specify drivers must move to the right edge on single-lane roads, or create a center lane by moving left/right on multi-lane roads (e.g., leftmost lane drivers move left, rightmost move right). The bill updates existing law to clarify lane creation in gridlock and ensures emergency vehicles can pass safely without stopping. It takes effect immediately upon enactment.
