The move aims to slash congestion, boost journey times, and tackle dangerous parking. First fines are $70, halved if paid within 21 days. Enforcement will rely on a new CCTV-equipped patrol car, not fixed cameras. Roadwork begins June 22, with overnight hydroblasting of old lines and new signage—expect noise and lane closures. This connects existing red routes, creating a seamless traffic-free corridor to make city travel smoother for everyone. Support the show: Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
