What is NOT a blue light exemption for emergency vehicles?

Stopping in pedestrian zones is not a blue light exemption for emergency vehicles. Emergency vehicles, while they have the authority to exceed speed limits and may use their lights and sirens to navigate traffic, must still adhere to safety regulations when it comes to pedestrian areas. Stopping in pedestrian zones can pose a risk to pedestrians, and as such, emergency responders are expected to ensure the safety of all road users, including those in pedestrian zones.

In contrast, blue light exemptions typically allow emergency vehicles to exceed speed limits when responding to calls, use red lights for right-of-way, and have the flexibility to maneuver around traffic laws to prevent further emergencies or accidents. Understanding the limitations of these exemptions is crucial for the safe operation of emergency vehicles.
