You are approaching a traffic jam on the motorway. What is the right course of action?

When approaching a traffic jam on the motorway, the correct action is to carefully pull up behind the last vehicle in the queue. This ensures safety and order. Driving through the emergency corridor or continuing along the hard shoulder is prohibited and can endanger emergency vehicles and other road users. In Germany, the emergency corridor is reserved strictly for emergency services, and the hard shoulder should not be used as a driving lane except in specific cases authorized by traffic signs. Following this rule helps prevent accidents and allows emergency vehicles to reach the scene quickly.
