Drivers in parts of Orlando face doubled traffic fines and potential vehicle impoundment from 6 p.m. Thursday through 8 a.m. Monday. The Orange County Sheriff's Office established this special event zone to mitigate severe traffic complications around the Electric Daisy Carnival, which is holding its fifteenth edition at Tinker Field.
The restricted area covers specific corridors near the festival grounds. It includes Colonial Drive from Tampa Avenue to Hiawassee Road, John Young Parkway from State Road 408 to WD Judge Road, and Old Winter Garden Road from John Young Parkway to Ferguson Drive. Under these rules, any traffic violation within the boundaries results in a fine that is twice the standard amount.
The festival runs from Friday, Nov. 6, through Sunday, Nov. 8. Gates open at 1 p.m. daily and close at 11 p.m. The lineup for this year's event features more than 40 artists, including David Guetta, Martin Garrix, Alesso, Steve Aoki, Afrojack, Mau P, SLANDER, and Wooli.
Three-day passes are sold out on the official website, but single-day tickets for Sunday remain available. Buyers can also purchase add-ons such as after-party access and shuttle services. The sheriff's office stated that the zone is designed to keep vehicles moving efficiently during the peak of the event.
