187. Corredor de emergencia
Un corredor de emergencia es un espacio libre creado entre carriles de tráfico congestionado para que vehículos de emergencia y asistencia autorizada puedan llegar rápidamente a un incidente. Los conductores normalmente lo forman en cuanto el tráfico se congestiona fuertemente, sin esperar a que se acerque un vehículo de emergencia. La posición exacta y los vehículos autorizados a utilizarlo varían entre países, por lo que conviene conocer las normas locales antes de viajar.
What is a rescue lane?
A rescue lane is a clear corridor formed between lanes of congested traffic so emergency and authorised assistance vehicles can pass.
When should you create a rescue lane?
Where required, drivers should normally form the rescue lane as soon as a traffic jam develops, rather than waiting until an emergency vehicle approaches.
Where is a rescue lane formed?
The position depends on local rules. A common system creates the corridor between the leftmost lane and the lane immediately to its right.
Why should the rescue lane be formed before an emergency vehicle arrives?
Creating the corridor early gives emergency vehicles a clear route through stationary or slow-moving traffic and avoids drivers having to move suddenly when space is already limited.
Can ordinary drivers use a rescue lane?
Normally, no. Rescue lanes are generally reserved for emergency vehicles and other specifically authorised vehicles. The exact rules differ between countries.
Is a rescue lane the same as the hard shoulder?
No. A rescue lane is created between traffic lanes, while the hard shoulder is a separate part of the road beside the carriageway.
