We have streets blocked with traffic sitting at lights here in Houston but the Ambulance will just go down the wrong side of the street, against the traffic, making the on coming traffic move over and stop. When they get to the intersection, all the traffic will be stopped in all 4 directions they just switch back over to the proper side of the street. It takes a little more time than zipping along past all the cars but it is better than what you witnessed. I can’t believe NY doesn’t do that.

You may not understand traffic in NYC. There are times when there are no open lanes anywhere, in any direction. The lanes in all 4 directions are completely clogged with traffic and even the intersection is clogged. It is gridlocked. Trying to get anybody to move out of anybody else’s way becomes difficult because nobody can move to create an opening for anybody else to move into.

And ambulances just sit there and wait like everybody else because their is nowhere for anybody to move out of their way.

Welcome to the Insanity if NYC. A great place to visit but hell on earth if you had to live there. You almost couldn’t pay me enough. I say “almost” because, obviously, if you paid me enough, I would have a limo, chauffeur and helicopter pad, etc... and living life on my own schedule. Otherwise, you can flush the whole city. It’s a mess.

GREAT, GREAT fun to visit, though. I have to confess, half the fun is watching what a circus and zoo the place is.
