@cstross@wandering.shop To add to the fun: In the 2 decades since that stock photo was taken, the bus lane along #Broadway to #SpringStreet is now an offset busway (separated from the on-street parking) with red asphalt that it is illegal for cars to use except for access, cars now only having 2 lanes. So it's not just malicious compliance for the ambulance, but also for subtly highlighting how public transport has already been improved and cars reduced. @vwestlife@mastodon.social @georgetakei@universeodon.com #NewYorkCity #BusLanes
