You must yield the right-of-way to emergency vehicles with sirens and flashing lights. Drive to the right edge of the road and stop until the emergency vehicle(s) have passed. However, if you are in an intersection when you see an emergency vehicle, proceed through the intersection and then drive to the right as soon as it is safe to do so, coming to a stop.
