In the presented situation, do the drivers of the red and green vehicles in compliance with the regulations ensure the passage of the emergency vehicle by creating the so-called "emergency corridor"?

Description

Art. 9. para. 2 pt. 2 of the Act of 20.06.1997 Road Traffic Act, consolidated text Journal of Laws of 2020 item 110.

Explanation

Correct answer: No

According to the rules for creating a so-called 'emergency corridor' specified in Art. 9 para. 2, the driver in the leftmost lane is obliged to pull over as close as possible to the left edge of the lane, and drivers in other lanes — as close as possible to the right edge. In the illustration provided, the green vehicle (in the left lane) and the red vehicle (in the adjacent lane) are moving in the middle of their lanes instead of pulling to the edges, thus failing to properly create space for the emergency vehicle.
