If you drive in Austria you should be aware of a new law effective 1 January 2012 requiring drivers on 2-, 3- and 4-lane highways to make a clear path (Rettungsgasse) for emergency vehicles when a traffic jam forms. Note, you have to make the Rettungsgasse whenever there is a jam, not only when emergency vehicles are trying to get through and even if you know that the jam is not caused by an emergency.
