Drivers in London will soon face a $30 if they sit in traffic without turning off their . Authorities want to reduce the of pollution in England's capital city. The fines could start on May 1. Throughout April, wardens in the London district of Westminster will ask to turn off their car engines if they are not driving. If people do not follow their , the new law will start. The fines are because residents and businesses complained about the air in London. Westminster has the highest proportion of deaths from air pollution in Britain. A spokeswoman, Heather Acton, said: "The council is committed to improving air quality in Westminster."

Ms Acton told reporters about the of keeping people moving on the roads and reducing air . She said: "Motor traffic plays an important in keeping our city moving, which is for its economic prosperity. We want to raise motorist of the impact engine idling can have on the , with air and noise pollution affecting health." Not everyone is happy with the new fine.
