Several cars are waiting in the right-hand lane at a "red" traffic light. Are you allowed to pass the cars cautiously on the right?

In Germany, you are allowed to pass stationary vehicles on the right side only if there is enough space on the roadway to do so safely and without endangering others. This typically applies when there are multiple lanes or a wide enough shoulder. However, you must never use the pavement or sidewalk to bypass traffic, as this is prohibited and dangerous. Always ensure your movement is cautious and does not impede other road users. The key rule is safety and legality: passing on the right is permitted only when it occurs on the road itself, not off-road areas.
