How do I react to an emergency vehicle approaching a roundabout?
This depends on where a driver is located when an emergency vehicle approaches from behind. If he or she is approaching the roundabout, the driver should pull over before reaching the median dividing the entrance and exit lanes. If the driver is at the entrance or within the roundabout circle, he or she needs to enter the roundabout and take the first exit. Once he or she is out of the roundabout, then pull over for the emergency vehicle.
