§ 10.04.030. Emergency and other exemptions.*  


Latest version.
  • The provisions of this title shall not apply to operators actually engaged in work upon a street or highway closed to travel or under construction or repair, to officers when engaged in the performance of public duties nor to drivers of emergency vehicles while operating in an emergency and in performance of public duties when the nature of the work of any of these necessitates a departure from any part of this title. These exemptions shall not, however, protect the driver of any vehicle from the consequences of a reckless disregard for the safety of others.
