Practice question
Under Austrian road traffic law (StVO § 46 Abs. 6), how is the emergency corridor (Rettungsgasse) formed on motorways and expressways in congestion, and which emergency numbers apply in Austria?
- As soon as traffic stagnates, vehicles in the far-left lane move as far left as possible; all vehicles in other lanes move as far right as possible (forming a clear corridor between the left and adjacent lane); Austrian emergency numbers: Fire 122, Police 133, Ambulance 144, Euro-Emergency 112
- Vehicles stop wherever they are and wait for police instructions; emergency number is 911 only
- Vehicles in all lanes move to the left lane to leave the hard shoulder clear
- The emergency corridor is formed only after an emergency vehicle is seen in the rearview mirror
