The Florida town of Windermere hopes to fight chronic traffic with fines for non-resident drivers.l

"In a radical move to grapple with crippling morning and afternoon traffic, the town of 2,200 has come up with a plan to keep outsiders from jamming its side streets.

Windermere, Florida has enacted an ordinance prohibiting non-residents from using certain streets during rush hours. Non-compliance can mean a $200 fine, but so far only warnings have been given."
