Human Factors; Procedure
After pushback and the salute from Spot XX; vehicles were bumper to bumper not giving way to us on the service road even with our taxi lights on. I turned on the fixed landing lights and vehicles still do not stop. We had to wait until there was a break in traffic to taxi-out. The scimitar wing could impact a catering truck.
B737 Captain reported a near collision with a catering truck during taxi out.
