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

Ms Acton told reporters the importance keeping people moving the roads and reducing air pollution. She said: "Motor traffic plays an important role keeping our city moving, which is vital its economic prosperity. We want to raise motorist awareness the impact engine idling can have the environment, with air and noise pollution affecting overall health." Not everyone is happy the new fine. The Institute Advanced Motorists warned that people could see the fine as a "revenue-raising exercise". It said the traffic wardens should focus "old buses, coaches, large trucks, utility company vans or taxis idling long periods" and not energy-efficient cars.
