The new traffic laws take effect
on Sunday.

But one attorney believes
challenges are all but certain... since
citizens can argue they're being
punished twice for the same crime.

The fees are issued on top of
criminal fines for driving recklessly
or under the influence of drugs or
alcohol.... We're talking fees anywhere
from 750- to three- thousand- dollars.

Drivers with eight or more
demerit points will also have to pay
100- dollars PLUS 75- dollars for every
point over eight ... that's only for
offenses after July first.

about something else. It has to do

with a controversial project called
traffic calming.

*CG locator Roanoke

If you've driven through Southeast
you know what we're talking about.

Nearly three years ago, the city of
Roanoke narrowed the streets in several
locations along Bullitt and Jamison
Avenue.

The goal is to make drivers feel so
uncomfortable speeding, that they slow
down.

City leaders say traffic calming is
working, many drivers can't stand it.

In the first Salem tried to get
something going early as Cesar Quintero
steals 2nd base to give the Avs a
runner in scoring position. But they
would get nothing out of it.

And in the third - the Warthogs
got a couple. Robert Hudson singles to
right. Paulo Orlando scores from third
and the visitors grab a one to nothing
lead. *CG final Winston-Salem

Salem Sch-nur-stein singles to center. 2 Mitch Einertson overruns the ball and
commits the error. That allows Hudson
to scores all the way from first.

Deborah Novak and John Witek
