Seriously! It's crazy.
We live in such an auto centric society. I often think, why do we have the parking lot in shopping centers go all the way up to the front door (so you have to cross in the path of cars to enter the building)?
Why don't the aisles go directly up to a big sidewalk/walking area in front of the building and that's it? You could have turnarounds every few for picking people up and something dedicated for emergency vehicles, but it's crazy that you have to cross in front of cars to enter the building, when there's 0 reason for those cars to drive right in front of the building!
- criley2 12y agoRegardless of design you must let emergency services access the building simply. No lane in front means Fire Trucks cannot stop in front of the massive building. I'd bet that front lanes are a building code / safety requirement.
- timjahn 12y agoI'm confident you could alter the current design to allow for extremely easy emergency service access to whatever part of the building needed, without having a giant ass road right in front of the building's front door.
- toomuchtodo 12y agoCorrect. You can indeed have an aisle that supports emergency and delivery vehicles without allowing daily vehicle traffic to the front of the building.
