Emergency vehicles such as ambulances and fire trucks require clear road access for quick response during medical emergencies and accidents. However, it is often observed that in some residential and market areas, roads become too narrow due to improper roadside parking and encroachment.
In many situations, vehicles parked on both sides of the road reduce the available space for movement. During emergencies, ambulances or fire vehicles may face delays while passing through congested streets.
I have observed narrow streets where large vehicles struggle to pass because of vehicles parked along the roadside. Such conditions can slow emergency response time and create difficulties during urgent situations.
This problem highlights the gap between urban road usage and emergency accessibility planning. Proper parking management and clear emergency pathways are important for safer and more efficient public infrastructure.
