The Law Explained

This coastal city draws massive crowds of tourists, which historically led to congested walkways and rowdy loiterers. To keep foot traffic moving and discourage vagrancy along the scenic Seawall, an ordinance was passed prohibiting anyone from plopping down on the pavement. If your legs get tired, you had better find a designated bench or walk down to the sand.
