Fair point again but only applicable if the restrictions in place are both clear and unambiguous and most of all well publicised.

Above all though is the need to examine the reason for the rule in the first place and judge it by whether or not it actually addresses that problem.

As it stands the rule/guide makes no sense as it does not gain the result it was claimed it was designed to give.

EDIT: If anything the reverse is true and what may well develop is people complying with the letter of the law but actualy increasing the congestion at peak times.
