Vehicle traffic may affect training operations conducted:

Vehicle traffic can significantly impact training operations conducted on public streets or parking lots due to the unpredictable nature of traffic flow, potential distractions for trainees, and safety concerns for both trainees and motorists. When training occurs in these areas, instructors must account for vehicles that may obstruct training exercises, create hazards, or necessitate the use of additional safety precautions. Cones, barriers, and personnel may be required to manage traffic and ensure the safety of all involved.

In contrast, training at fire drill towers typically occurs in controlled environments where external vehicular traffic is minimized. Similarly, conducting training with more than one apparatus or on military or government reservations usually has specific protocols and regulations that limit civilian access, thus reducing the impact of vehicle traffic. In these scenarios, the focus remains on the training activities without the immediate concerns associated with public roads or parking lots.
