I'm a road traffic consultant based in the Norh East UK. The Emergency Services Paradox remains a stubborn issue because the way the system is set up means that people in charge tend to play it safe rather than making tough calls. On the surface, fire brigades are forced to make a big deal out of even a small risk of delayed response times. Behind closed doors though, many officers are well aware that quiet streets mean fewer horrific crashes, fewer kids being ripped from smashed up cars and fewer dead bodies turning up.
