Rettungsgasse / Rescue Lane - Reminder while traffic jams
In Germany and most European countries, you are supposed to form a rescue lane whilst being in a traffic jam on a highway/Autobahn.
This emergency corridor is always between the very left lane and the one next to her, so all cars need to move to the very left / very right on those lanes, making enough space to let emergency vehicles through.
After several incidents where people died after emergency services being stuck in the traffic jam, the German government wants to increase the sentence on ppl not making space for the rescue lane.
My Suggestion:
In case of a traffic jam on highways or major federal roads with moving speeds under 20km/h an alert is given reminding the user to leave enough space for emergency vehicles coming through. And if there is a traffic accident / broken-down vehicle reported ahead, the alert should be pushier.
Should be an easy dependence-informatics thing with all the data you have and it would be a great support for all the emergency workers out there, risking their lives to help people.
Help us saving lives!
Thank you!

It's a very good idea, but I'd neither say it is not at all important nor important to me. I'd call it useful for me (and others). I always put my car in a traffic jam to the side for a rescue lane, but I see many others who don't, don't know or don't care.

Simply a very great idea, Rescue lane notice as BMW does. (BMW Connected Drive), I suppose you could even use your own data. Would save lives and make live of Rescuers and police much better
