Such a dumb requirement. Emergency vehicle can always climb a curb losing 5 seconds once a year when that happens.
Meanwhile people get killed on wider than needed streets and intersections and we don't give a shit about that.
Pretty stupid that we design our roads for emergency vehicles rather than actual people who use it.
