There are a million reasons that traffic gets blocked such as parades, funerals, road construction, and traffic accidents.
And I didn't hear anyone make the argument any of those things should be banned to prevent the potential loss of life from someone trying to get to a hospital while not in an ambulance.
It really seems like an isolated demand for safety.
- dbsmith83 6y agoTerrible analogies. Those are mostly planned things which give people opportunity to plan for.
- JamesBarney 6y agoDoes it matter if it's planned? If you have a medical condition and you need to get to a hospital it doesn't matter whether you had a week's notice or a days notice because the need to get to a hospital is unplanned.
- jcims 6y agoYes it matters that it's planned. There are permits, detours, announcements and emergency response planning for all of the above. Here's the process for getting a parade permit in NYC - https://www1.nyc.gov/site/nypd/services/law-enforcement/permits-licenses-permits.page#:~:text=Applying%20for%20a%20Parade%20Permit,can%20assist%20with%20the%20application https://www1.nyc.gov/site/nypd/services/law-enforcement/perm....
- dbsmith83 6y agoAnother assumption that is just completely untrue. Some people have important yet routine things that are crucial to their health. And planning does matter, because when events are planned, proper detours can be set up with signage.
