Though I suppose many eating places have vehicle exhausts near, in New
Brighton Mall, New Zealand, there are three restaurants with outdoor
tables in a pedestrian mall. Now the Christchurch City Council has voted
to put a slow road through that mall, thereby adding to the number of
restaurants near vehicle exhausts. And how easy it is to be out of 
compliance when sitting near a vehicle exhaust.

Do we have to wait till car transport becomes jam prone, and/or fuel gets 
prohibitively expensive before we do something?
