South Australia · Learner's Theory Test · Road rules

An ambulance is stopped on the road ahead with its red and blue lights flashing, creating an emergency service speed zone. What is the maximum speed you may pass at?

The answer

60 km/h
10 km/h
25 km/h Correct
40 km/h

Why that's the answer

In South Australia you must slow to 25 km/h when passing an emergency service speed zone, which exists around a stationary emergency vehicle displaying flashing red or blue lights. This protects emergency workers on the road.
