Firstly, I’m aware that my question gives the impression that I hold anti-urbaninst views but that’s not the case. If such a measure were to be implemented I would fully support it. I’m merely curious as to what would happen to emergency services if a total ban on personal, motorized vehicles was enacted. I’m especially curious to how cities or even countries with low car dependency handle EMS.
Emergency services vehicles’ journeys are faster and easier if the roads aren’t cluttered with private vehicles.
They can get closer to the scene if they aren’t having to negotiate on-street parking full of cars.
They will be called to fewer severe road traffic accidents.
