On Tuesday, the Seattle Department of Transportation (SDOT) finished installing red paint on bus only lanes through the Battery Street corridor. The red paint is meant to clarify the fact that the lanes are bus only and better deter motorists. The city plans to step up enforcement of this traffic law as well. SDOT traffic engineer Dongho Chang captured the work on Twitter.

When asked about the work, transportation director Scott Kubly said that the city had its “focus on using the roadways as efficiently as we can.”
