Kinda misleading. This dude is a comedian and “influencer” (not really in the typical sense but he films a lotta stuff for online content). He cuts filming just as people are moving out of the way for the ambulance.
I ain’t saying NYC doesn’t have a problem with what he’s saying, but I am saying you can see how he’s not being entirely honest and he’s incentivized to be dishonest.
No amount of dishonesty can invalidate the fact that in a typical german city that ambulance would be going literally 10 times as fast without any issues. Its not just stupid drivers, but NYC is also just a complete failure in terms of road design.
The idea of a car lobbyist sitting in on a fucking city council meeting.
You guys are like gnomes the way you talk about America.
No the car lobby doesn’t have to do anything, our own goddamn reactionaries will immediately squeal “They gonna make traffic WORSE!” despite the fact that I find our single lane freeways more efficient here because The option to choose what fucking lane they are in allows these people to make more mistakes and force more ‘brake waves’.
It really doesn’t, because in Germany cars always move out of the way. Even if the street is completely full of cars waiting at a red light for example.
No, that’s my point. In the video there is much more room to move than what I mean, with two lanes it mostly suffices to just move the car to either edge of the road.
Even if they did eventually move out of the way, it would still be way slower than what happens in Germany (and many other European countries). Cars would begin to move out of the way as soon as they notice it approaching.

I am a german i never seen this guy. Maybe he is more famous in the USA.
Yeah he primarily posts English language content because his humor is mostly based off English speaking stereotypes instead of, well, jokes.

Well it wasn’t leveled 80 years ago.
Its not that deep. They just need to remove 2 of the three car lanes, replace em with a bike and a bus lane and the problems is solved.
I would love to hear someone propose that at a city council.
Im sure that has happened, but the car lobby has the money and money is literally the only deciding factor in US politics.

NYC is thrice as dense as Berlin, the densest city in Germany. Probably accounts for something.

tbf it’s because there is room for them or the ambulance to move to, like a bus lane, a bicycle path etc, but that’s not acceptable in many places

I mean, there are about a thousand people that can coroborate the fact that people block ambulances in NYC all the time.
Oh yeah absolutely I ain’t denying that, I just don’t like that this dude is doing this for content.
You mean filming?
