New Traffic Code Sets Strict Vehicle Rules Citywide
A city commission adopts a comprehensive traffic code with major changes affecting drivers and pedestrians. Prohibitions include parking in congested areas, banning dazzling lights on vehicles unless headlights are dimmed, and new stall limits on specified streets. Vermont Avenue center parking is authorized for temporary use with clearances. Motorcycle and bicycle carry limits tighten passenger rules, while pedestrians receive expanded crossing guidance and driver duties to prevent injuries. The code, based on existing regulations, unifies rules under clear subheads and takes effect after adoption.
