Re: Do not idle for more than 3 minutes or else..

I'm not thrilled about the city passing a law about this. I don't like to be told what to do. I'd be more comfortable with an ad campaign or something similar encouraging people to not idle unnecessarily, but you can't dispute that idling is a waste and adds to pollution.

T oadd to this strategy, I would also add some wisdom from a city planner that was on public radio the other day. Road design does not encourage efficient fuel usage. He suggested replacing most stop sogns with round abouts that would allow people to continue moving. Idling at stop signs and lights, then having to reaccelerate to speed is a big waste of fuel.
