Should you stop if ambulance is in opposite lane?

It is not required by law to stop for an ambulance traveling in the opposite lane on a multi-lane roadway. However, it is a common courtesy and a good practice to do so, as it allows the ambulance unimpeded passage to where it's needed quickly. In some jurisdictions, drivers may encounter legal penalties like citations for intentionally impeding an emergency vehicle's path on the road during urgent matters. So, stopping when feasible to let the ambulance pass might enhance safety and demonstrate considerate driving ethics during emergency cases.
