AN UPDATE IS POSTED AT "ALBEMARLE ACTIVISM BRINGS SAFETY IMPROVEMENTS"
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Less than three days after the tenth reported car crash of the year on Albemarle Road, the Department of Transportation (DOT) installed "NO STANDING Anytime" signs at two intersections on Albemarle.
Each sign eliminates one parking space in favor of increased visibility and improved safety. The fine for a violation is $115.
One sign is on the southwest corner at E. 3rd Street. The other one is on the northeast corner at E. 4th Street, the scene of a car-ambulette collision in May.
A "NO STANDING Anytime" sign indicates that no vehicle can wait in that space or stop there to load or unload anything at the curb. Only stopping very briefly to drop off or pick up a passenger is allowed.
