At a funeral procession, to which vehicles must it yield?

• A. Pedestrians
• B. Law enforcement or emergency vehicles
• C. All vehicles
• D. Bicycles

Answer: (B)

Emergency vehicles have the highest priority on the road. When one with lights and sirens approaches, all traffic must yield to it. A funeral procession, while it may have the right of way over normal traffic, must still yield to law enforcement or emergency vehicles. This means you should pull to the right edge and stop if needed until the emergency vehicle passes. Pedestrians or bicycles aren’t the vehicles this rule targets, and yielding to all vehicles isn’t correct because emergency responders take precedence.
