Under NEW JERSEY STATE LAW, drivers of non-emergency vehicles shall yield the right of way to the vehicle of any member of a volunteer fire company or a volunteer first aid squad or rescue squad displaying emergency warning lights as in the same manner as authorized emergency vehicles (N.J.S.A. 39:4-92).

What This Means:

When approached by a vehicle with a blue light...

• You MUST pull over to the side of the road close to the right hand curb.
• Don't block intersections.
• Don't follow emergency vehicles closer than 300 feet.
• Don't park closer than 200 feet.
• Failure to yield is punishable under New Jersey State Law as a Moving Violation.
• Points and fines are possible if convicted.

It's the LAW.

The days of calling it a "Courtesy Light" have past.
