When an ambulance with full lights and sirens travels a bumper to bumper highway what should motorists do if they cannot move to the shoulder of the road?

Many highways become so busy that bumper to bumper traffic makes it nearly impossible to move to the shoulder of the road. When an ambulance approaches from the rear and motorists are in bumper to bumper traffic, the motorists should STAY PUT. The ambulance will use the shoulder (on left or on the median side) to maneuver around stopped traffic. NOTE: This is another reason that motorists should never use the shoulder to pass stopped traffic on any US highway. Emergency vehicles need the shoulder to be clear of all obstacles so the emergency vehicles have an open way to pass.
