El Paso City Code § 12.26.010
in effect12.26.010 - Purpose.
The purpose of this section is to increase emergency vehicle and police access to certain areas ("no cruising zones") by enhancing the orderly and unobstructed flow of motor vehicle traffic throughout such areas. This will be accomplished by:
A. Reducing traffic congestion caused by an increased volume of motor vehicle traffic participating in repetitive transit throughout such areas;
B. Reducing the likelihood of preventable mishaps and crises arising from an inability of police and emergency personnel to respond to locations within such areas due to excessive traffic congestion caused by cruising;
C. Increasing access by members of the general public to such areas, which access is currently restricted due to unnecessary traffic congestion arising from cruising.
