Considering the Hilton Crystal City At Ronald Reagan National Airport in Arlington?

Fast help in case of traffic accident by matcrazy1
I took this picture from the top of Sheraton National hotel and I learned something new for me looking at a large space located just by busy freeway with a helicopter pad and designated for emergency vehicles. I never noticed something like that before in the USA and in Europe either. They call it an emergency area. Later on, somewhere during my southern trip, I noticed ambulances in rush-hour traffic on the interstate. There were warning signs on oncoming emergency vehicle traffic or something those lines with marked hours of operation (rush hours). Who says Americans are dumb?
I would love to see that in my country. Maybe someday. As for now, the professional help for victims of traffic accidents comes often too late in Poland. Tax-payers money is spent for other, "more important", public expenses. Sorry to say, but Poland is on 23rd (of 25) place in mortal victims of traffic accidents in European Union. Could we send some our politicians to the USA them to learn what to spend money for?
