Residents of Virginia Beach wait in line for their auto decals at

the City Treasurer's branch office at Haygood Shopping Center on

Wednesday. That was the last day to legally drive without an updated

decal. Stickers had to be on cars by midnight. As of Feb. 16, anyone

without a new city decal could face a $20 fine with a $26 court fee.

One woman said the line hadn't moved an inch in an hour.
