    While that’s a fair point, it’s not the only example of planning ahead. I’m sure there’s plenty of other ways than the ones I came up with in a few seconds.

    They could also pick a drive throughs that have enough room to leave the line. Less common in cities but they’re still there.

    Edit: I’d also like to point out that their lights and sirens are designed specifically to get people’s attention and get them moved out of the way. More difficult if you’re trying to get a vehicle 10 cars up to move but it’s not like they’re stuck waiting like the rest of us would be.

      Haha sorry I kind of latched on to one of your examples, you did give some other fair options. There were some exceptions made over COVID when dine in was closed but it’s harder to make policies when some drive throughs are good and others aren’t. And your view on efficacy of lights and sirens are a tad optimistic (including the P.A.)

      That said, I do think that they could walk further and it’s bad optics to be parked blocking anything but a fire route as an emergency vehicle. And I’m probably going to get roasted by the fire fighters for saying that. And I’m not apologizing for the pun.
