#4. Interested to know where this post comes from. Drivers in practically all countries move to the sides of the road to let emergency vehicles down the centre of the road.
Eudicy, you have obviously never driven in 'Murica. It is a clusterf@#k if there is traffic and EMS needs to get through. Most people panic and have no clue what to do.
It looks like a preemptive move here though, where they all pulled over as traffic came to a stop, with or without an actual emergency vehicle in play. In the US, they only move if there's an actual vehicle, so in practice, if the traffic jam is stopped, the emergency vehicle has to use the shoulder to get through.
Eudicy, when I saw this pic before, it was specified that when traffic comes to a complete standstill due to an accident, by law, drivers have to move to the shoulder in Germany. Any German can confirm?
thats right. if the traffic comes to complete stillstand, or is so slow, that i possibly might come to an complete stillstand soon, you have to build a "Retttungsgasse", a way for the emergecy vehocles. It's also defined, how you have to do that, depending on how many traffic lane the street has.
No, "Reißverschluss" is what you should do, when two lanes merge into one. This is just simply the "Rettungsgasse" and it is always made between the leftmost lane and the one on its right.
