Telephone rings, delivery carts & emeregency services

After several “wonderings”, we discovered that the old fashioned telephone ring we hear when out walking is a truck’s turning signal, warning pedestrians of their intentions.

Some delivery “vehicles” don’t ring anything – they only have a human motor, but they “drive” on the street. This cart is man-powered. We see them every day.

Ambulances stop at red light intersections – then they use their loudspeakers to warn cars before venturing into traffic. It’s interesting to see them park on the (narrow) street to serve someone in need. There’s a high rise near us where we’ve often seen an ambulance stopped. Traffic goes around them.

The fire department is all ready for a call. Note their shoes are ready - must need to change them before getting in!
