Enforcing Yield-to-Pedestrian and Truck Restricted Routes Amendment Act of 2025
This bill requires the Mayor to install 30 automated camera systems by January 1, 2026: 15 for enforcing truck restrictions on specific routes (with 15 placed in the ward having the most production/distribution zones) and 15 for enforcing "yield to pedestrians" rules at crosswalks. It directly affects drivers, particularly truck operators on restricted routes and all drivers at pedestrian crossings, by mandating automated enforcement instead of relying solely on police patrols. The key mechanism is the deployment of fixed camera systems to automatically detect and ticket violations of these traffic rules. The bill amends an existing 2012 law to add these specific enforcement requirements.
