BAT lane enforcement starts this week

We want to remind you that the Seattle Police Department plans to begin enforcement of the BAT lanes on 15th Ave W. this week.

As we reported, the new signs and stripes were installed last week, and the city said drivers would have a week to get used to the changes before officers start handing out tickets. Many drivers have been confused by the BAT lane rules, and the city hopes that the new signs will help clear up the confusion.
