The city is installing enforcement cameras in eight locations to automatically ticket drivers who use bus lanes or “block the box.”
After a thirty-day period for people to learn the cameras are in place, violators will first get a warning and then, starting with the second offense, a $75 fine.
“It’s a real crisis of pedestrian safety,” said Anna Zivarts, who heads the Disability Mobility Initiative at Disability Rights Washington. “What may be stressful or frustrating for may be a matter of life or death for people who are outside of a vehicle and trying to cross.”“You have to go around and squeeze into between cars and a lot of times they get mad,” she said.
