fire lane

No-parking access route

A fire lane is a designated area, usually along a curb or in a parking lot, kept clear for emergency vehicle access.

Fire lanes are marked with signs or painted curbs and strictly prohibit parking: Her car got towed from the fire lane.

The term also applies to cleared strips in forests that help contain wildfires.
