(A) The operator of a vehicle entering a public street shall yield the right-of-way to authorized emergency vehicles when the latter are operated upon official business and the operators thereof sound audible signal by bell, siren, or exhaust whistle.
(B) This provision shall not relieve the operator of an emergency vehicle from the duty to drive with due regard for the safety of all persons using the street, nor shall it protect the operator of any such vehicle from the consequences of an arbitrary exercise of such right-of-way.
