- Rescue lane: as soon as traffic slows on a motorway or rural road with at least two lanes per direction, keep a lane free between the leftmost lane and the one beside it — immediately, not once the blue lights arrive. (§ 11 Abs. 2 StVO)
- 112 reaches ambulance and fire service (Europe-wide), 110 the police — free from any network, credit or not. (Notrufverordnung (NotrufV))
