It is the purpose of this subchapter to achieve the city’s objective of preventing unnecessary non-destination driving past designated traffic control points throughout the city. This purpose has been determined as a result of a finding by the city that a public nuisance is created by non-destination driving either in the “downtown loop” or at other locations throughout the city. Unnecessary driving activity creates a legitimate concern for the public’s health, safety and welfare. Repetitive driving and congregating of motor vehicles has increasingly caused areas of concern for citizens, including excessive noise, traffic congestion and hazards, business disruption and vandalism.
