Method for Driving on an Opposite Lane in a Controlled Manner

A method for driving a vehicle on an opposite lane in a controlled manner includes detecting, with a surroundings sensor system, surroundings of the vehicle and receiving, with a control device, measurement data of the surroundings sensor system. The method includes identifying at least one course of a road, and at least one course of at least one road user in the surroundings based on the received measurement data and planning a trajectory of the vehicle within the at least one course of a road. The method further includes identifying a section of the road wherein when driving on the section of road the opposite lane is cut across by the vehicle, and determining a first stop position for the vehicle prior to entering the identified section of road. The method then checks whether the opposite lane can be driven on in the identified section.
