Two cities in Indian River County are moving ahead with a solicitation ban at street intersections.

On Tuesday, leaders in Vero Beach enacted a city wide ban effective immediately.

The rule prohibits any action that distracts drivers at any intersection.

In Sebastian, leaders are looking at a proposal that would stop the solicitation of money at some of the city's busiest intersections.

Sebastian's proposed ban on soliciting money alongside roadways would apply to the following intersections:

  • Jackson Street and U.S. 1
  • Main Street and U.S. 1
  • Sebastian Boulevard (CR 512 W) and U.S. 1
  • Sebastian Boulevard (CR 512 E) and U.S. 1
