Emergency Corridor
Clear lane for emergency vehicles.
In stop-and-go traffic on highways and multi-lane roads outside built-up areas, an emergency corridor must be formed, between the leftmost lane and the remaining lanes. Anyone who fails to form an emergency corridor or uses it without authorization risks a fine, points and a driving ban.
