Proposed Law: municipal enforcement of pedestrian protection

Minister of Internal Security Gilad Erdan has proposed a law that was passed today by the Ministerial Legislative Committee.

Erdan's proposal is to authorize municipal inspectors to enforce laws against crimes that endanger pedestrians, such as bicycle riding laws, electric bike laws, bike riding on sidewalks and more. As well, the municipal inspectors will be authorized to levy fines on pedestrians who walk in bike lanes. And, municipal governments will now be authorized to confiscate cars.

I guess that means that if you do not pay your parking tickets, eventually they might confiscate your car... and those laws they passed a while back regulating usage of electric bikes to a minimum age, with helmets and whatever other requirements they instituted, but said at the time there is no method of enforcement - well, now there will be.
