Press Release: Penal Code Amendment

-
Citizens of Los Santos

• 
  The city of Los Santos is issuing this news bulletin to make all citizens aware of 2 new Penal codes being added to the city laws.
  
  The new penal codes are being placed to try and reduce city congestion as well as decrease the amount of damage caused to our streets and highways. These bylaws will help reduce the tax costs allowing us to focus the tax dollars on healthcare and public transportation rather than street repairs.
  
  Please review and understand the new laws posted below.

Vehicles are defined as unroadworthy when:

• They fail to meet Minimum Safety Requirements, Lights, Indicators, Seatbelts (Excluding Motorcycles) Side and Rear View Mirrors, plus they cannot cause damage to a road surface. Utility vehicle operators are expected to be conscious about road accessibility and to operate with as little harm to traffic flow by keeping to the rightmost lane possible, driving within safe speeds, and waving traffic around them in the event they are causing a disturbance. Utility vehicles causing traffic issues may face fines for misuse. Utility Vehicles are defined as Money Transporters, Delivery Services, Waste Transports, Tractors, etc.

Impending Traffic is now defined as:

• No person shall drive a motor vehicle at such a slow speed as to impede or block the normal and reasonable movement of traffic except when reduced speed is necessary for safe operation or in compliance with law or except when the vehicle is temporarily unable to maintain a greater speed due to a combination of the weight of the vehicle and the grade of the highway.
