WHEN SPEED LIMITS NOT APPLICABLE:--The speed limitations set forth in this Chapter shall not apply to vehicles when operated with due regard for safety under the directions of the police in the chase or apprehension of violators of the law or of persons charged with or suspected of any such violation, nor to police vehicles in cases of emergencies, nor to fire department or fire patrol vehicles when traveling in response to a fire alarm, nor to public or private ambulances when traveling in emergencies.
