(Stupid) question about the emergency lane?
Normally the emergency lane is formed between the left lane and the lane to the right.
But first the situation: I am standing at a red traffic light (city ring: two lanes + one left-turn lane = three lanes)
Normally on three-lane roads the lane is between the left lane and the middle lane.
But does the turning lane count as a third lane?
I was in the middle. The cars in my lane swerved left and right, and no one seemed to know where to go.
I intuitively drove to the right.
Thanks for all helpful answers 😉

The rescue lane control applies only to motorways and out-of-town multi-lane roads.
Otherwise, you would have to form a rescue gate at every single traffic light – it is the traffic flow. The rescue gate shall not be formed until a vehicle with blue light and siren comes;)
Say, the question of whether bending tracks are considered to be full-fledged traces does not arise from the outset.
No, city traffic is easy Improvisation demanded. Consider where the easiest way is to create a free track and where you can move your vehicle best. Yes, I know that has something to do with thinking and cooperative behavior, and the modern driver is neither willing nor capable of doing so…
As a driver of a blue-light vehicle, one is in doubt looking for the track where from the outset the fewest vehicles are already, or at least no trucks because they can effectively do nothing. Or you know the traffic lights and you know which lane is next green. If there is no counter traffic, it may also be an option to use the counterway.
Jup, you sometimes feel that the combination of blue light and horn interrupts the blood supply to the brain for drivers.
Sometimes you are looking for the right-wing lane, because it just turns green and is the least cars there – and then the driver of the only car stays paralysed in front of this lane green Lights stand and can be soaked from the compressed air horn until it has red again. From the moment it is then a 50:50 chance, whether it has already grown on the ground or suddenly shoots completely with swing over the holding line into the intersection and almost collides with the transverse traffic.
That’s why, as cool as blue-lighting is at the beginning, one has a thread of taste in the mouth because one bites so often into the steering wheel;)
Let’s see… I want to do something professionally in the direction…. But I think I can partially understand what you mean… I mean the question here was what would theoretically be correct, but that you just make room where it is, actually, logical…? I’m still a student and have little experience in road traffic…. but once was a first aider with a motorcycle accident, I’ll never be able to understand how you can just walk past it…
Exactly. And one wonders that so many people appear not find logical.
Actually, it’s quite simple – the left lane moves left, everything else goes right. It doesn’t matter what counts as a trail or not.
Left track to the left, all the other to the right.
By the way, the rescue gate has to be formed only on motorways and multi-stage roads outside of localities (paragraph 11, paragraph 2 StVO). Inner-city you have to see how it fits…
Yes, in the case (as far as I know this applies only elsewhere) this applies to all lanes incl. Turn marks.
On land roads there are sometimes similar structural boundaries left and right. Then the same principle is applied as on the highway – as you described it.
However, if there is no structural separation in the middle of the roadway, the use vehicle could also pass to the left (via the counter traffic). Then the left-wingers would rather disturb when they drive to the left.
If it is tight, I would rather deviate from the rescue lane and try to adjust the situation to make logical space. In doubt as others do.
In the city rescue vehicles with special rights do not try to penetrate the traffic jam in front of a red light, but drive around it as a ghost driver. I.e. they drive as a ghost driver into the intersection, but not on the counter-lawed traffic jam, but traverse the intersection diagonally, leaving it on the right side. I mean a normal traffic light, no other traffic lights.
If the ambulance wants to go through the traffic lights it is necessary to arrange, commemorate and follow the majority instead of applying rigid principles.
In this case it was necessary because there was a green strip with trees in the middle
I got into a situation like that. Stand with the truck at the front of the left bending track and I see a right mirror coming to RTW. So I went to the intersection with red to open the bottleneck.
There is no regulation, as has already been explained. Before traffic lights, the situation also changes almost sequentially, depending on the traffic light phase.
There is usually no place in the city for a permanent rescue lane.
It only helps to observe the blue light in the back mirror. You don’t have to do anything if the use vehicle moves on the counterway(s), the only right-hand turn-off moves into the side road, and it all comes to the side in the middle.
The rule for motorways is often useless in the city. If the 2 left tracks are, for example, left-wing tracks, why should an EInset vehicle squeeze between when it has to go straight ahead or right? Often this is hardly possible from the track.
Hello
The rescue lane is valid on motorways and multi-lane highways, but not in the city area in front of a traffic light.
When a utility vehicle approaches, everyone has to dodge as best it is possible.

Most importantly, the rescue lane is on the highway. I’m not sure of myself, but I think you’ve done it right. Go to the main point.
There are no rescue lanes in the city.
When a utility vehicle approaches from behind, you drive to the side, at the most, it is space. You can or should even carefully drive over red so that vehicles come through and let the ambulances pass.
