Idle-Free Zones

"Idling" means running your engine when your car isn't moving. Most of the time idling isn't necessary, and it can have negative effects on the environment — and your health.

Exhaust contributes to the formation of ozone pollution, which can cause eye, nose and throat irritation and, in higher concentrations, asthma, bronchitis and decreased lung function.

Long-term exposure to air pollutants, like vehicle emissions, increases the risk of respiratory illnesses, such as allergies, asthma and lung cancer.
