Some first responders in the town of Huntington say new road medians are making it difficult to respond to emergencies.
Volunteer first aid and fire officials in the town of Huntington say that New York's Department of Transportation has created a bump in the road that is not only dangerous, but keeps them from responding quickly to a call.
They say several medians that were placed along traffic-jammed Route 110 in Huntington - supposedly for pedestrians - are creating a hazardous environment. "One of the strange things about these - you would expect these to be placed at the intersections where pedestrians should cross, but a number of these are in the middle of blocks," says Chief Mike Como, of the Huntington Community First Aid Squad.
