[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]And more crap from the Palisades NIMBYs:

“It no thru traffic with  local traffic only at issue.  To answer your question see below.

Local access street – a street or portion of a street designated for access only to drivers of vehicles whose destination or origin is on or within two (2) blocks of such street or portion of the street.

Can we please send a clear and resounding heck no!

While it is recognized in the code, there does not seem to be a penalty associated with a violation.[/quote]

It would be failure to obey a traffic control. [/quote]
Except that is not stated in the code and there is no penalty for it. You can review all of the civil penalties in Section 18-2600.

It would seem to be a violation of Section 18-2217.1 on use of Local Access Streets. However, there is no penalty under Section 18-2600. For example, Section 18-2600 does provide for a $500 fine for driving down a barricaded or closed street (18-2217.2). There are also fines for other violations under Section 18-2217, including violating bus lanes.

The only general “failure to obey” type fine is associated with “ Failure or refusal to comply with Lawful order or direction of a Police Officer”, which does not seem to apply.

So there is no penalty.
