the speech speaker is quite impressing. They are outfitting ambulances in europe with radio interrupts and warnings. So your car radio will mute and plays the sound of an ambulance warning.
unlike ambulance in America? I experienced emergency vehicles in the USA having some of the most blaring sirens, drivers constantly honking (even on empty roads) etc
It was my first time in Japan. Riding a push bike through Kyoto. An ambulance came behind me with sirens and the womens voice. Tripped me the fuck out. Something about Japan ive never forgotten. Its heaps cool
I was recently in Tokyo and I saw some ambulances. I was wondering what they were saying on the loud speaker. Now I know :) thanks for making this video and thanks for bringing back memories of Japan :)
These ambulance sirens sound better than here in the UK, where I might even risk going deaf from hearing an ambulance siren (they leave ringing in my ears after their sirens scream down my ear).
Japanese people are more considerate. Their sirens are loud enough to get your attention yet it seems they arent obnoxious enough to wake you up at night. I also like how their ambulances have verbal announcement so you dont get confused about where the ambulance is going. In USA where I live you have to pull over for emergency vehicles.

We have a ambulane in Ohrid with the same siren just a older but longer Toyota that transports you either to the hospital or Special Hospital for Orthopedics and Traumatology St. Erazmo
i just got to looking around and was wanting to verify something after watching a PSA compilation featuring the infamous "Kitchen Mother" anti stimulants psa from over in Japan, since they sampled a sound that reminded me of what a Japanese ambulance siren typically sounds like when you hear it in a movie or something like that and wanted to make sure i wasn't quoting it wrong
My Brudda Japanese Ambulances are my Personal Favorite Because They're quieter and they don't honk their horns like the American 1's do all they do is speak thru the Speaker to tell drivers in Our Original Japanese Language like for example "The Ambulance Is Turn Left"
The talking is lower than the siren if for some reason you can’t hear the siren and have to be told by the lower voice you’re in trouble that makes no sense at all because basically with the siren on you can’t hear the talking
I saw that police, fire and the ambulances use the speech, do they actually say them through the megaphone or is it like already installed as a trigger?
Tatü-tata, die 救急車 ist da. I have a question.What are the small lights that light up at the bottom of the ambulance near the rear tires? Our ambulances in Kharkiv, Ukraine didnt have that. Is that lights are auxiliary turnlights or they can light up in different colours to indicate the ambulance status to the other motorists? Or act like bottom lights to illuminate the bottom of an ambulance while repairs?
***** We should have these types of Ambulances in America as a special Pediatrics Unit, I find the Siren and Voice command very nice and polite compared to American ones who use a freaking Train Horn
I rather like the voice synthesizer. Here in the US a lot of people can tune out the sound of a siren if they're used to it, it'd be helpful to have a VOX system to say something along the lines of "Move to the right lane, ambulance approaching," and whether or not we're trying to make a right or left turn.
I think so. I think that firecrews in my country (Netherlands) can get a message through to the public by a PA-system on board (they will have to speak for themselves), but I would be highly surprised if police and ambulance have that same system. An automated system is something I only know from Japan, but maybe something like that exists in some other countries as well. Japan is just very polite to everyone, no matter the situation. We could learn from that...
Wonder if the EMTs, AEMTs, and EMT-Ps have the same scope of practice as us here in the US, and if they have the same shifts as us. Only asking because I'm thinking of going to Japan to be a paramedic over there. Might even be permitted via protocols to perform pericardialcentesis and chest tubes like the Flight Medics can do. Either that or there won't be *much* of a scope of practice.
***** There are various kinds of sirens in Canada, too, but they do not vary by situation; it is up to the vehicle operator to decide which siren to use.
Thank you for the video. Does any emergency services use Wail or Yelp sirens? Or Horn? We use a lot of sirens,but they're very loud. Greetings from Hungary.
Yelp siren is NOT recognised by law here, even though some fire brigades do use it to catch people's attention in addition to the legally recognised siren to catch people's attention. The legally recognised sirens are wail for police and fire services, and two tone for all medical-related emergency services (ambulances, doctor cars, and emergency blood delivery cars). By law, sirens must be no less than 90 db and no more than 120 db from a distance of 20 metres, but ambulances tend to go with 90 db instead of 120 db to maximise patient comfort.
Keep sentences as short and basic as possible during times when seconds count. Instead of "we are turning right. Please note" reduce it to a phrase "turning right"
I have even found a video once from fire crews responding in Tokyo somewhere, where they had to cut across 3 lanes of cross-traffic when taking a left turn and someone on board grabbed the mic and also said something, which got someone in the comments to ask what they were saying. I was astound to read that someone replied that they were asking for the right of way, if traffic could please stop and if they were to be apologized for the inconvenience they were causing. When they had passed in such a way that they could continue, the speaker on board thanked traffic for their patience. That's just plain cool ;)
Why do the ambulances in Japan drive slowly, and how come the paramedics on board the ambulance look like surgeons or doctors, instead of having a different uniform?
Japanese ambulances drive slowly for multiple reasons, including patient comfort, onboard medical procedures, and accident avoidance. Contrarary to popular belief, the Japanese are NOT the best at giving way to ambulances, especially those riding bicycles or on foot. You'll see plenty of pedestrians and bicycles trying to rush across the street when an ambulance is coming with lights flashing and sirens blaring, thinking that they can beat the ambulance in speed. They move out of the way ONLY when there's stationary traffic due to congestion, and the ambulance is coming from front or behind. Otherwise they just ignore the ambulance. If you watch more videos of Japanese ambulances, you'll notice when an ambulance crosses a junction during red light, hardly any cars will stop. So ambulance drivers have to be careful when they go through a red light, and Western style dashing through the red light with lights & sirens will be a suicide move here in Japan. Even though Japanese people are known for their politeness and mutual consideration, there's always an exception to the rule. Giving way to ambulances is definitely one of them. Also, most Japanese ambulances belong to the fire brigades and they only have 3 EMTs onboard. In case if ALS is required, either a specialised ambulance with doctors and nurses onboard from the hospital will come, or they might dispatch a doctor to the scene or meet up with the regular ambulance halfway to provide care for the patient. Both the ALS ambulances and physician response cars are called 'doctor car' (ドクターカー) in Japan, despite being two completely different kinds of vehicles. The uniform is called 感染防止服, which stands for 'infection prevention uniform'. Japanese EMTs take a lot safety precautions, because you never know if the patient has something highly infectious, such as HIV. So it's a standard practice for Japanese EMTs to wear long-sleeved uniform regardless which season it is, unlike Western EMTs. It's also why they wear face masks even before COVID happened, and they also wear helmets for safety too.

Why do they go so slow even with a completely clear road?
While watching the condition of the patient, it is because they try to optimum speed.
Why do the ambulances in Japan drive slowly, and how come the paramedics on board the ambulance look like surgeons or doctors, instead of having a different uniform?
Not ride the doctor in an ambulance of Japan. However, EMTs will ride.
Blue uniforms is infection protective clothing.
Japanese ambulances drive slowly for multiple reasons, including patient comfort, onboard medical procedures, and accident avoidance. Contrarary to popular belief, the Japanese are NOT the best at giving way to ambulances, especially those riding bicycles or on foot. You'll see plenty of pedestrians and bicycles trying to rush across the street when an ambulance is coming with lights flashing and sirens blaring, thinking that they can beat the ambulance in speed.

Even though Japanese people are known for their politeness and mutual consideration, there's always an exception to the rule. Giving way to ambulances is definitely one of them.
Also, most Japanese ambulances belong to the fire brigades and they only have 3 EMTs onboard. In case if ALS is required, either a specialised ambulance with doctors and nurses onboard from the hospital will come, or they might dispatch a doctor to the scene or meet up with the regular ambulance halfway to provide care for the patient. Both the ALS ambulances and physician response cars are called 'doctor car' (ドクターカー) in Japan, despite being two completely different kinds of vehicles.
The uniform is called 感染防止服, which stands for 'infection prevention uniform'. Japanese EMTs take a lot safety precautions, because you never know if the patient has something highly infectious, such as HIV. So it's a standard practice for Japanese EMTs to wear long-sleeved uniform regardless which season it is, unlike Western EMTs. It's also why they wear face masks even before COVID happened, and they also wear helmets for safety too.
