just an FYI (going out on a limb) but nobody knows what this even means "Does this mean that if police are code 2 en route to a crime 10 miles away they can use the park to save time? What if they are code 3?"
if you could either explain the lingo or dial it down, that would be great for the rest of us to understand your argument
- elif 3y agoCode 2 means emergency vehicles are responding to an emergency, have their lights and sirens on, and are thus permitted to violate traffic rules. Code 3 means that emergency vehicles are responding to a non-emergency, backup for a scene which is mostly under control, etc. But it is not urgent enough to warrant lights or sirens.

- trogdor 3y agoThe terms you are using are not universal, and in the United States “Code 3” typically mean lights and siren, and “Code 2” typically means lights but no siren. Best to avoid jargon.
