You could be on E. 4th st instead. (Better known as "Wooo! Avenue")<br /><br />PS.<br />And don't think that we don't still end up with plenty of siren blaring vehicles stuck in those stalled traffic lines anyway. I'd figure at least a couple of fire truck drivers would have wised up and stopped using 4th simply because they have a brain.
