    NYC is thrice as dense as Berlin, the densest city in Germany. Probably accounts for something.

      It really doesn’t, because in Germany cars always move out of the way. Even if the street is completely full of cars waiting at a red light for example.

        tbf it’s because there is room for them or the ambulance to move to, like a bus lane, a bicycle path etc, but that’s not acceptable in many places

          No, that’s my point. In the video there is much more room to move than what I mean, with two lanes it mostly suffices to just move the car to either edge of the road.
