Firstly, I’m aware that my question gives the impression that I hold anti-urbaninst views but that’s not the case. If such a measure were to be implemented I would fully support it. I’m merely curious as to what would happen to emergency services if a total ban on personal, motorized vehicles was enacted. I’m especially curious to how cities or even countries with low car dependency handle EMS.

    I think the operative word there is “personal “

    Restaurants would need food and supplies delivered… so suppliers would need trucks. See also ups FedEx and Amazon (GDISM)

    EMS , fire, and police would still have vehicles…

    Most commercial vehicles would still need to operate; unless there were a way to ship intra-city supply via taxi or bus or subway… so — trucks would be around for a while

      True, although deliveries to homes themselves could (and are) be done by cycling and other micromobility options, especially for smaller items.
