Police to Begin Enforcing Traffic Laws on 15th Avenue

October 24, 2008 in Ballard, Ballard Mass Transit, Traffic by Cameron

The Seattle Police Department reports that it will now begin to ticket drivers violating the use of Business Access/Transit Lanes on 15th Avenue and Elliot Way.

The Transit lanes run each direction down 15th avenue to accommodate bicyclists and the increased number of buses during peak hours of traffic from 4-6pm. Other drivers can only use the curb lanes for making right hand turns during restricted hours, and during non-peak hours it is available for parking and/or cruising. 

Insider tip: don’t try to continuously cruise with your right turn signal on… it doesn’t work.
