After another heavy blow on E17: fire brigade begs for rescue lane during interventions | Destelbergen

The new rules that have been in effect since 1 October are simple, however. Anyone who ends up in a traffic jam is expected to clear a strip in the middle for the priority vehicles of the fire brigade or ambulance. You do this by driving extra to the left in the left lane and to the right in the right or middle lane. In this way, the emergency services quickly reach the scene.

Moreover, it is important to form a rescue lane as soon as traffic jams occur, and not to step aside until you hear a siren. Because then you are usually already stuck in a traffic jam and you can no longer pull over, as the fire brigade’s video shows.
