Officer Eric Daylong discusses how Seattle's automated enforcement for blocking intersections and bus lanes is changing driver behavior positively. The city's program, initiated in 2022, has shown a significant impact, with only nine percent of drivers who were previously warned for blocking the box reoffending. CBC Toronto has investigated these tactics to address congestion in their own city, exploring the possibility of implementing similar automated enforcement measures to improve traffic flow and safety for pedestrians and cyclists alike.
Every day when deciding whether to issue a ticket, Officer Daylong reviews video of potential traffic violations captured by the American city's automated enforcement cameras.
Since the program launched in 2022, only up to nine per cent of vehicle owners who were issued a warning for blocking the box later received a ticket for doing it again.
