Bus Lanes and Loading Zones in US Cities: A Continuity Problem, Not Just an Enforcement One
Most bus lanes and loading zones stay blocked not because enforcement is too lenient, but because it only exists in the moments someone happens to be watching. Councils tend to read this as a compliance problem that more citations will eventually fix. Recent enforcement data points to something else. The curb is not ignored. It is watched intermittently, and violations cluster in exactly the hours nobody is looking.
