As for the other idiots posters complaining about the trucks blocking the road, clearly you are so much more qualified to determine the need of traffic control. I'm sure you too have had years of experience at accident scenes.
As for people pulling over for the sirens, I"m astonished at how driver's around here ignore emergency vehicles. People here are assholes when it comes to allowing emergency vehicles access. Want to see how you're supposed to do it? Go to Phoenix. When sirens are heard, EVERYONE in EVERY DIRECTION pulls over to a stop until AFTER the emergency vehicles have passed their area. And yes, that includes cars on adjacent streets, etc. It is possible, but clearly, as the earlier posters on here have demonstrated, many of the people around here are entirely too self-absorbed and selfish to follow the law.
