Impact analysis
The city will likely spend on signs, markings, and enforcement, while drivers may pay in extra time or altered routes.
People on foot—especially near busy intersections—should get safer crossings and fewer close calls.
Drivers could catch new delays or rerouted traffic, but the law isn’t targeting any group for harm.
