WHAT TO DO IF an emergency vehicle is entering a roundabout?

If you are already in the roundabout, continue driving to the next available exit, drive out of the roundabout and then pull over to the right side of the road and stop. This allows the emergency vehicle to safely pass.

Do not enter a roundabout when an emergency vehicle is approaching. Instead, move to the right and stop so the emergency vehicle can safely pass. The key is to make sure you are not an obstruction to an emergency vehicle.
