Can anyone tell me why is it that some of the police cars and ambulances, (especially the ambulance jeep) at Gatwick use the taxi ways instead of the roads. Are they allowed to do this?
Yes, But they have to have a special driving licence before being able to do this.

Who has right of way? The emergency vehicle or the airplanes?
Always the airplanes, It's not easy to stop a 747 just because an ambulance needs to get past and the power of engines even at low settings is incredible (as demostrated elsewhere in this forumn I think).
