There’s no place for anyone to move to. The congestion is such that you cannot get out of the way. The Van Wyck alone will slow an ambulance to 3-5mph because of traffic. You cannot get out of the way if there’s no place to go!

There's congestion in German cities too. The point isn't to drive away. During rettungsgasse, nobody goes anywhere. They just make way by stopping to the sides.

The problem in NY is that the cars are too big for the lanes to do that.

There are no lanes to move aside into. It has nothing to do with vehicle size or “driving away”. I really don’t know what to tell you, I’ve spent plenty of time in several German cities as well as US cities, the comparison isn’t there. There are no breakdown lanes or shoulders to move into in many places to make room for emergency vehicles. You’re welcome to argue all you want, but I drive in and around NYC regularly so I’m more than familiar.

You don't need an extra lane, if the traffic on your side moves to his right side and the other side moves to their right side, there would be plenty space in the middle for the ambulance to pass

The problem in NY is that the cars are too big for the lanes to do that.

the only place available for people to do this is parking lanes and bus/bike lanes.

[–] boonhet@lemm.ee 3 points 2 days ago

Yes, when there's an ambulance behind you, you take a parking or bus or bike lane. Hop a fucking curb if you have to. It's the one thing all the big ass SUVs should be good for in the city.
