✔✔When the police cruiser arrives, where should it park to create a safe work zone? -
✔✔Blocking position
✔✔There are two common vehicle positioning strategies used at highway incident
scenes. The positioning when a responder vehicle is placed on an angle across one or
more lanes of traffic is known as? - ✔✔Block positioning
✔✔Linear positioning of a responder vehicle involves positioning the response vehicle -
✔✔directly upstream of vehicles involved in the incident and within the same lane as the
crash-damaged vehicles involved in the incident.
✔✔A common example where linear positioning could be used would be at the scene
of: - ✔✔A disabled vehicle parked on the shoulder
✔✔An example where Lane + 1 block positioning typically could be used would be at
the scene of: - ✔✔A medical emergency where the injured party is in a vehicle
✔✔The use of blocking vehicles is an important way to reduce the risk of a secondary
incident by providing clear, concise direction to motorists, improving traffic flow around
the incident, reducing congestion, and - ✔✔providing additional advance warning to
approaching traffic
obstructing a lane of traffic
, ✔✔The decision process for choosing linear positioning or a blocking position begins
upon your arrival, as your vehicle is approaching the incident scene, and; - ✔✔as you
are conducting a windshield size-up
✔✔The Block positioning strategy provides for responder safety by: - ✔✔Creating a
physical barrier between approaching traffic and responders
✔✔Three factors that help determine whether to park in a linear or lane 1 block position
are - ✔✔Speed of traffic, volume of traffic, location of vehicles involved in incident
✔✔When using linear positioning at an incident, it is important that: - ✔✔Sufficient
space remain between the emergency vehicle and a crash-damaged vehicle
✔✔When emergency vehicles park in a linear manner with a "slight block" that means
that : - ✔✔The emergency vehicle is parked on a slight angle that does not close any
additional lanes
✔✔When using block positioning, the shoulder of a roadway is: - ✔✔Counted as a lane
✔✔Block positioning typically is accomplished with; - ✔✔larger emergency vehicles
such as fire apparatus
✔✔The main reason for using block positioning at an incident is to: - ✔✔All of the above
✔✔Blocking vehicles are parked on an angle: - ✔✔So approaching drivers can see that
the blocking vehicle is stopped and parked
✔✔Ideally, when using a block position, emergency vehicles should park : -
✔✔Physically in the direction you want motorists to merge from one lane to another
✔✔The NFPA Standard that requires fire departments to establish SOPs regarding
emergency operations for traffic incidents, place apparatus and warning devices, and
park apparatus in a blocking position is; - ✔✔NFPA 1500
✔✔The rule of thumb when using block positioning is "Lane + 1," with the shoulder
counting as a lane. The purpose of taking that additional lane or lanes includes: -
✔✔creating an adequate buffer space between those who are "feet on the street" and
the moving traffic
✔✔Linear blocking positioning is appropriate when; - ✔✔oncoming traffic is minimal and
traffic speed is low
