The Clear Lanes Project is a joint initiative between Washington Metropolitan Area Transit Authority (WMATA) 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.
Warnings will start going out July 24. I assume drivers can still simply not pay these without repercussion.
I’m so confused about the new bus/bike lanes on Pennsylvania Ave SE. People just blatantly park in the bus lane as if it’s completely legal, so I’m wondering if I’m somehow misunderstanding the law. Are people allowed to park there outside of rush hour?
It depends on the bus lane. They should all have frequent signs like this. I think it may be a fair point that they should make it more consistent, maybe just pick 7am-7pm, M-Sat, for all of them. The map with each of them and their hours is here: https://buspriority.ddot.dc.gov/pages/buslanes
