Very cool video. Good example of how a system is more than the sum of its parts. How a fire department blocks changes to road infrastructure because of their oversized trucks, keeping wide roads, inviting higher speeds, leading to more traffic accidents.

Especially his closing accusation is very good. How fire departments will protest bikebanes but not come out in favor of reducing roadlode parking or bus express lanes. It just shows that they lack vision.

You may use at most two. Any more feet and it may be wise to visit a doctor.
