The shoulders of their roads look way cleaner than ours.

I did not know they had to go to the shoulders in an emergency situation such as grid lock traffic jam.

What is a Rettungsgasse?
How to form a Rettungsgasse (emergency lane) in Austria

Quote:
If you find yourself driving down a motorway in Vienna, you’ll likely spot signs that mention a “Rettungsgasse”.

This is a temporary lane or corridor for the emergency services to use. Austrian law requires vehicles on motorways or dual carriageways to create such a corridor when in a traffic jam or a jam seems imminent.

Those signs are simply a reminder of this obligation.
