Al-Marsad newspaper: A member of the Traffic Safety Committee, Saleh Al-Ghamdi, explained that signal interruption is not a traffic violation if an ambulance is behind the driver.
He said during his speech with the “Al-Youm” program broadcast on the Al-Ikhbariya channel: “If there is a person behind him, a civil defense or any of the government services such as an ambulance, cut off the signal, and if a violation is registered on him, he presents the footage and takes his right.
And he continued: “What’s wrong is that we have 3 lanes, and the ambulance is the middle or right lane, so whoever hears the ambulance cuts the signal and says cause the ambulance.. No.. the ambulance must be in the right or mid lane, and the signal is interrupted here.”
