Can the emergency route created as shown in the picture for an emergency vehicle be used by the driver of an emergency roadside assistance vehicle taking part in a rescue operation?

Description

Art. 9 para. 4

Explanation

According to the regulations, such a passage may be used by emergency vehicles, as well as road management vehicles and roadside assistance vehicles, provided they are taking part in a rescue operation (Art. 9 para. 4).
