For response vehicles with a standard car chassis.
Large Response Vehicle

This mode is designed for vehicles such as Ambulances and Police carriers/vans.
It will avoid roads with restrictions that are narrower than 2.5m, the typical width of ambulances and police personnel carriers, as well as check for height restrictions less than 3m.
Emergency/Non-Emergency
modes apply as normal. For example, if there is both a width
restriction and a wider lane designed for buses through the middle (as
below), Emergency mode functionality will expect you to travel through
the wider bus lane. If Non-Emergency mode is selected, this road would
be avoided.
