A 2-minute lesson from the Kentucky course. Read the rules and examples, follow the handbook page references, and check your understanding before you move on.
A funeral procession led by an escort vehicle with flashing lights has the right-of-way at intersections. Kentucky law protects processions from being cut into or passed, with a few specific exceptions.
Know the rule
A funeral procession has the right-of-way at an intersection and may pass through it if it's led by an escort vehicle displaying flashing yellow, red or blue lights.
A procession behind an escort with flashing lights enters an intersection just as your light turns green. Wait—the procession has the right-of-way and you may not cut between its vehicles. Go once it has passed through.
