Parting of the traffic

Traffic in Guatemala City can be frustrating however in the midst of all of it, it is so neat to see cars move out of the way when an ambulance comes with the sirens on.  Just when you think there isn't anywhere for cars to get out of the way, everyone moves to the side a little and the ambulance is able to pass.  This morning I watched it all happen. I was going to an appointment and I was in slow moving heavy traffic.  Then I heard the sound of the ambulance sirens.  Immediately almost 100% of the drivers moved to one side of the road whether they could move five inches or five feet over.  They made a path for the ambulance.  It was so neat and interesting to watch, we were in a place where it didn't look like anymore cars could fit however there was room.  I imagine it was kind of like the parting of the Red Sea...
