Except where there are those concrete bullards, like we have here in Saanich BC. Too narrow for EMS vehicle and thers can't possibly pull over.

But . . . but . . . In that video, I saw cars pulling over and getting out of the way unnecessarily! Can't have THAT, How-Sen! /s

E-bikes and cargo e-bikes are excellent opportunities for emergency response. Get personnel and equipment up to the site of the emergency quickly, despite car traffic. Dispatch an ambulance which can get there later, or get called off. It could result in faster response times and lower costs.

As NotJustBikes points out: we have absurdly large (and costly) emergency vehicles in North America. Compare to France, Japan, etc. Smaller emergency vehicles can better serve us, cut costs, and make use of bike lanes.

True, hadn't thought of that aspect of it. Mind it does depend on the width of the bike lane. I'm just north of Toronto & our bike lands are less than a vehicle width.
