Emergency vehicles displaying flashing lights and sirens always have the right‑of‑way. All traffic moving in both directions must stop. If you’re approached by an emergency vehicle, get clear of any intersection, pull over to the right (or to the left if you’re on a one-way street or in the left lane of a divided highway), and stop until the emergency vehicle has passed. The only exception is if the emergency vehicle is on the opposite side of a divided highway, in which case you do not have to pull over.
