Prohibiting solicitation of a person in a vehicle while they are stopped at a traffic light or stop sign.
Prohibiting solicitation of a captive audience whether at pay phones, automated banking machines, public toilets, or transit stops.


Key components of the Trespass Act amendments include:

Allowing prohibition of specified activities on premises to be given orally or in writing - for example, a mall owner or security guard could prohibit skateboarding.
