By the way, there's certainly real reasons that access by full-sized motor vehicles may be needed. And as in all things, a precise definition of "need" is perhaps badly needed.
@Gurre i think you've captured like 98% of a complete policy right there.
@bikepedantic We really, really need to stock smaller service and emergency vehicles. We don't need full-sized fire trucks or sanitation vehicles going down these places. (Ambulances, OK, fine, those have minimum internal space requirements but not the rest)
Seeing the service vehicles in France was eye-opening. You really can do an awful lot without being stupidly huge.
@wordshaper and with so much cash out there to electrify fleets, now now now is the time to redefine the fleet mix
@bikepedantic Yes! Tiny trucks for so many things. Fix the fleet, and do it now. (Little electric delivery vehicles are awesome too, but that's a different conversation)
@bikepedantic
Emergency services responding to an emergency. Construction vehicles for major construction with no other access.
Those make sense to me.
Otherwise: you're using the wrong vehicles for the job.
