Spain will mandate emergency corridor maneuver for drivers

informacion.es (Spanish)

Spain will mandate the "emergency corridor" maneuver, requiring drivers to create a clear path for emergency vehicles on highways. This will become law next year. The Directorate-General for Traffic (DGT) will incorporate the "emergency corridor" rule into traffic regulations. Drivers must move to the sides of the road when traffic is stopped or slow, creating a central lane for emergency vehicles. This new rule, supported by technology, aims to improve emergency response times. The DGT will use connected vehicles to alert drivers to approaching emergency vehicles and provide real-time location data.
