What must you do if you find yourself in a traffic jam on motorways and on highways with two lanes travelling in the same direction?

When there is a traffic jam on motorways or highways with two lanes in the same direction, German traffic rules require you to create an emergency corridor (Rettungsgasse) to allow emergency vehicles to pass through quickly. To do this correctly, vehicles in the right-hand lane must drive as far to the right as possible, while vehicles in the left-hand lane must drive as far to the left as possible. This creates a clear space between the lanes for emergency services. This rule improves safety and response times in traffic jams. Driving in the opposite direction within one lane, as suggested in option 3, is incorrect and can cause confusion and accidents.
