emergency access point


Explanation:
From Miramar, Florida's official web site, section on regulations for providing fire department access to buildings:

"No Parking" signs or approved designation indicating that parking is prohibited shall be provided at all normal and emergency access points throughout the planned community."
http://www.ci.miramar.fl.us/fire/drc_fire/emg_acces.htm

The section also says "Means of access for Fire Department apparatus shall consist of fire lanes, private streets, streets, parking lot lanes or a combination thereof."
