Abstract
In a method for operating a vehicle which is moving on a roadway, a traffic flow of other vehicles in the surroundings of the vehicle is detected and, if the detected traffic flow corresponds to a traffic jam, a transverse guidance of the vehicle is regulated in order to reduce a lateral distance between the vehicle and one of the other vehicles.
