Doubled fines, traffic cameras for car pool lane violators

The Knesset Economy Committee approves today a new network of traffic cameras that will target drivers who misuse car pool lanes.

“The cameras will be installed by local councils starting in January 2017,” committee chairman MK Eitan Cabel (Zionist Union) says.

The decision also doubles the fine for driving in the lanes while not actually car pooling from NIS 250 ($65) to NIS 500 ($131).
