What it means for residents
The source does not describe changes for any particular neighbourhood, so the practical points are general. Drivers using the expressway should follow the posted limits, particularly on the two bridges where the cap is lower. Because this was only the first full day, the early traffic and revenue numbers are a snapshot, not a pattern, and conditions may change as more drivers start using the route.
