It’s time for drivers to stay
in their lane!
Motorists caught blocking
the B44 select bus service
lane became subject to violations
on Dec. 30, after a 60 day
grace period following the
installation of bus-mounted
cameras came to an end.
“Our message is loud
and clear, bus lanes are for
buses,” said Craig Cipriano,
the Metropolitan Transportation
Authority’s bus czar.
Motorists caught on bus
mounted cameras blocking
Brooklyn’s fi rst dedicated
bus lane will receive a $50
fi ne for their fi rst violation,
with the penalty increasing
by $50 up to $250 for recidivist
scoffl aws who are caught
multiple times during a 12-
month period.
Since bus mounted cameras
were first activated at
the start of the 60 day grace
period, B44 cameras captured

over 7,000 violations
in the lane that runs up Nostrand
Avenue from Sheepshead
Bay through East
Flatbush and Crown Heights
to Williamsburg. Bus speeds
have increased up to 17 percent
in sections of the route
since automated enforcement
began, and that was
before drivers were even issued
fines.
Cameras will work to capture
vehicles that drive in
bus lanes without taking the
next available right turn, and
those that remain parked in
lanes for extended periods of
time — cars captured by two
separate bus cameras in the
same position will be ticketed.
Bus lane enforcement
has been proven to speed
up buses on congested thoroughfares
elsewhere around
the city, such as on First and
Second avenues in Manhattan,
where travel times on

the M15 have been cut by as
much as 40 percent in some
sections.
The B44 is Brooklyn’s second
busiest bus route after
the B46, and the fi rst in the
borough to get the dedicated
bus lane treatment. When the
lane was fi rst implemented
back in 2013, commute times
were cut by up to 20 percent
in some areas, despite initial
concerns from local electeds
over congestion.
Speeding up buses is a
key component of New York
City Transit bigwig Andy
Byford’s Fast Forward plan
which aims to modernize
the city’s aging transit infrastructure.
