Comment on When traffic comes to a standstill, drivers instantly shift left and right to create a Rettungsgasse, an emergency corridor right down the middle, so ambulances

  hkw do you think it would work if they only did it when there was an ambulance?

    That’s how it works in the UK. You see a blue light in your rearview, then everyone tries to find space and the emergency vehicle proceeds at a clip of 5-10mph, while the affected people ahead burn/bleed etc.

      I wonder how long how much more time they would need in this example:

      I guess 10 minutes?

        I guess so. I think there are a lot of service roads onto the motorway that the public doesn’t have access to, which means in theory the emergency services would never have to drive that far through traffic. But I’m guessing.

  Yes, we are taught to move left or right to create a middle lane during a traffic jam.
