From DDOT:

“The Clear Lanes Project is a joint initiative between Washington Metropolitan Area Transit Authority (Metro) and DDOT that aims to improve bus travel times and enhance bus stop safety by using camera technology to identify illegally parked and stopped vehicles in dedicated bus lanes and bus zones.
Program Details:

Metro will mount automated cameras on buses serving select routes in DC. These cameras automatically take photos of violating vehicles and send information directly to DDOT for enforcement. Metro anticipates that the Clear Lanes project will be ready to roll out in Fall 2023, with a 45-day warning period beginning July 24, 2023.

Fines: (more…)

“Dear PoPville,

At the nationals park the other week, I bought a beer from someone walking up and down the stands and was given the option of tipping 15, 20, or 25%. Later, I bought a second beer from someone at a concession stand and was told that “tipping is mandatory” — any idea how that works? I’m happy to tip, it just feels strange to mandate it and then call it a tip”
