When may you use the emergency crossovers?

• A. When directed by a police officer
• B. Never
• C. Only during daylight hours
• D. When traffic is heavy

Answer: (B)

Emergency crossovers are not for regular driving. They’re medians set up to help emergency vehicles reach incidents or to be guided by law enforcement, not to be used as normal roadway access. As a driver, you should not drive onto or through an emergency crossover. You may only use one if a police officer directly directs you to do so, and you must follow that officer’s instructions precisely. Daylight, heavy traffic, or other conditions don’t change this rule—the priority is safety and giving clear access to emergency responders.
