Any obstruction, I mean. Like a car accident or a nude protest by greenpeace supporters.
Or in the case of me in Basinhall Street (City on London) coming upon a rather large artic lorry blocking the whole road (with it's extendable legs) whilst it off loaded its building supplies with it's on board crane "It'll be here at least an hour mate" was the reply from the site foreman - should they not have closed the road? I would expect BIB/Fire Engine/Ambulance to reverse and carry on - but what about joe publicMike

How would you be an obstruction on a one way street?
There are quit a few one way streets in my area, with parking on both sides and if we are send to any medical emergency in such a street we will park and leave the vehicle right in front of the house, blocking the entire road.Vehicles will either have to wait or reverse out. What we sometimes see then are residents at the end of the street who can't park in front of their door, so they will go to the end of the street, and reverse into it, which doesn't really causes any problems as there won't be any traffic coming down it anyway as where's blocking it.
If the nature of our job turns out to be non-emergical one of us useually will try and see if there is any parking a little futher down the road.
If there isn't we have no choice but to leave the vehicle blocking the road untill we are done.

I would assume that emergency vehicles would be exempt,well for anyone with any sense anyway...
We are indeed. I was just showing that there can be obstructions blocking a one way street for a certain amount of time, which leaves other motorist either to reverse out, or turn around and drive the other way of which im not sure if thats legal, and i think thats what the TS is trying to found out here as well.Edited by Medic-one on Saturday 15th December 07:20
