We literally have this. We call it the "shoulder".

There are shoulders in Germany as well, but they prefer that the ambulance drive through the middle lane.

And idiots try to drive on it to skip traffic.

Using a the shoulder for emergency vehicles is not as good, as they are usually smaller and they are the place where those with damaged vehicles should stop. This means you cannot go as fast on them as you can in the lane shown in the video.

I'd recommend going exactly the same speed on either, and it's not particularly fast.

[-] coolie4@lemmy.world 1 points 3 months ago

Exactly. They have to split the red sea like this in countries like Germany because there is no shoulder. Even in the video you can see if they go off to the side they're ending up in a ditch.

Nope, im pretty sure the cars on the right are driving on the shoulder. If you look at the opposite side, there is a shoulder that nobody is driving on.

Most Autobahnen have a Seitenstreifen, which is essentially a shoulder, but in German. Maybe look things up before stating them?
