Correct answer
Priority vehicles
They are called priority vehicles. Police, firefighting, civil-protection and rescue, and medical-assistance vehicles have that status when travelling on urgent duty and announcing their presence with the V-1 light signal and special audible signal. They may use the light signal alone when omitting the audible signal poses no danger to other users. Merely being an ambulance or having those devices installed is insufficient.
