Tackle car engine idling

It is illegal to idle in London, but very few drivers seem aware of this in London. There needs to be a big city wide campaign to get the message across to STOP IDLING. An idling engine can produce up to twice the emissions of a car in motion, churning out sulphur dioxide, particulate matter and nitrogen oxide and it is completely avoidable! People just have to be educated. Signs should go up througout the capital. Traffic Wardens should start telling drivers. The public should feel empowered to tell drivers to switch off their engines. Idling in Hackney is a particularly big problem.

There is no Police or Council Orderlies to enforce this. I live on a "HGV no entry" road, yet that "waze" GPS that the Mayor has liberally teamed up with, sends HGVs down this road. Have always voted Labour or Green, but Khan will not get my vote for that he is not doing anything to tackle environmental pollution.
