They still have to follow the rules of the road. In my state legally even running code 3 (lights and sirens) they are only legally allowed to go 5mph over the limit. And if there is an accident the ambulance driver is basically automatically assumed at fault.
Ah, I sorta just assume they had some kind of wide spread exemption in a lot of situations.
There really isn't. Most of the laws regarding that is "driving with a due regard to safety." You can't just blow through intersections willy-nilly. A lot of progress has been made with driving code 3. A lot of studies have shown it honestly doesn't improve patient outcomes based on the limited time gained. There are exceptions of course.
