2006 Minnesota Statutes

169.17 EMERGENCY VEHICLE.
The speed limitations set forth in sections 169.14 to 169.17 do not apply to an authorized
emergency vehicle responding to an emergency call. Drivers of all emergency vehicles shall
sound an audible signal by siren and display at least one lighted red light to the front, except that
law enforcement vehicles shall sound an audible signal by siren or display at least one lighted red
light to the front. This provision does not relieve the driver of an authorized emergency vehicle
from the duty to drive with due regard for the safety of persons using the street, nor does it protect
the driver of an authorized emergency vehicle from the consequence of a reckless disregard of
the safety of others.
