A method, a computer-readable medium, and an apparatus are provided for wireless communication at a UE, e.g., associated with a host vehicle. The apparatus transmits a message comprising at least one of a lane change request or a lane space reservation and monitors for a response to the message. An apparatus at a first UE associated with a remote vehicle receives a message comprising at least one of a lane change request or a lane space reservation from a second UE. The apparatus determines whether to accept the lane change request or the lane space reservation from the second UE and transmits a response to the message accepting or rejecting the lane change request or the lane space reservation.
