    This isn’t pulling over because there’s an emergency vehicle actively there. They’re pulling over because traffic is blocked up, for the possibility that an emergency vehicle may need through. It doesn’t decrease throughput bit it does let emergency vehicles through. If people abuse it then throughput stays the same and they lose the extra benefit.
