What is the rule for emergency vehicles in a roundabout?

Asked by josie (30934points) August 3rd, 2017

Where I live, intersections are gradually going from traffic lights to roundabouts.

The other day, I watched as the EMS entered a roundabout.

People in the roundabout moved over, but then when the EMS passed, they could not get into the lane they needed in order to negotiate the roundabout (because other drivers where there, and since you can’t stop in the roundabout, they couldn’t let them in).

Is there a rule of the road for the problem?
