@derjoghurtmitderecke There's over 10 different unique sounds. There's the main one, then horns for warning people to move it, cross-section horns (durchschnitt)...too many to name. :)
New Yorkers value and respect the police and the FD. The thing is... the traffic in Manhattan is jammed. There's just too much cars and, don't forget, streets are pretty much the same for decades! Besides, manhattan is always packed with tourists, buses, delivery trucks, cabs etc.
But you can be sure nyc drivers do their best to give way to emergency vehicles. it's just too hard.
but the way people dont get out of the way fore emergency vhicles gets me pissed it tackes them much longer to get to the call and most people need help now they cant wait fore some jack ass to get out of there way!!!
We do try to get out of the way. The traffic in Times Square is just so packed (I assume you've never been to NYC, I feel sorry for you) that no one can move.
Unbelievable! You're spot on. Sitting in the traffic with sirens and horns blaring isn't going to make them move any faster if the traffic has no where to go or can't go because of traffic lights...
And what they've done before. They were heroes long before 9-11.
When that happens I jump out in front with my walkie talkie and make everybody turn out of the way, whether they want to or not, while riding a bike no less.
response times in new york are probably horrible

fire men: Where at sir?
operator: in the middle of Times Square
fire men: Fuck me.

The weekend mornings at Times Square are not too bad. They are not as many tourists during the morning hours than the afternoon and evening hours.

They are not allowed to have them and they take it off if they know a officer is on the way. If they are chought the $1,500 siren is thrown away.
