I always see this tho, and I'm not even from Germany.

It might not be that perfectly straight, but I can clearly see it as a better practice that the 10+ years ago (afaik the data shows that too).

This isn't just for standing traffic, it's for rush hours too.

(If someone wants to maliciously stop emergency vehicles they can do that on shoulders too.)
