What is an "s-shaped" maneuver?

The "s-shaped" maneuver is specifically designed for navigating through tight spaces effectively. This maneuver typically involves steering in a series of "S" curves or serpentines to create the necessary angles to enter or exit confined areas, such as parking lots or narrow streets. By utilizing this technique, drivers can maintain better control of their vehicle and ensure they can fit into spaces that require careful handling, which is critical during emergency operations where precision is paramount. The ability to perform an "s-shaped" maneuver can be especially important in urban settings, where obstacles and the need for quick direction changes are common.
