“Beep…beep…beep…”, the siren of an ambulance wails through Hanoi’s congested streets. A truck carrying goods along Nguyen Trai Street comes to a halt, yielding to the ambulance. Minh, the truck driver, shakes his head in frustration: “It’s an emergency vehicle, I have to yield! But sometimes it’s confusing, I don’t know which lights have priority and which don’t.” Indeed, understanding the regulations regarding emergency vehicle lights not only ensures compliance with traffic laws but also contributes to a civilized and safe traffic culture.
Emergency vehicle lights are specialized lights installed on specific types of vehicles, emitting distinctive light signals to notify other vehicles to yield the right of way. They typically come in vibrant colors like blue, red, and yellow, and are classified based on color, flashing frequency, and authorized vehicle types.
Emergency vehicle lights act as “silent heroes” on the road, enabling priority vehicles such as ambulances, fire trucks, and police cars to quickly reach emergency scenes and perform critical tasks.
Le Van Nam, a transportation expert, states: “The proper use of emergency vehicle lights for authorized vehicles is crucial for ensuring traffic safety and protecting lives and national assets.” (Hypothetical quote)

Illegal installation of emergency vehicle lights is a violation of the law and subject to strict penalties.
Understanding the regulations regarding emergency vehicle lights is the responsibility of every road user. Let’s work together to build a civilized and safe traffic culture for the safety of ourselves and the community.
