Method for the improvement of the transit of emergency vehicles by use of beacons, wherein the emergency vehicle (1) has a terminal TE (3) which can accede to a wireless access network (4) that administers the transit improvement service. The method also uses positioning beacons (6) located at different points of the road network (8), which communicate by radio with vehicles driving in their vicinity. Informed of the position of the emergency vehicle (1) when same passes close to a beacon (6), the network (4) notifies presence thereof to the rest of vehicles (7) which have a terminal TE (11) and position determining means, and which are located at a predetermined distance from said beacon, whether in the same road (8) as the emergency vehicle (1) or in an adjacent road (9), so that said vehicles (7) clear the way for the emergency vehicle (1).
