Oxford's Congestion Charge approved at Cabinet today!

I think this is the first UK one for 20 years - London and Durham being the other two cities with them. Looking forward to faster buses and more bus routes, fewer private cars and therefore being able to re-do crossings to favour pedestrians!
Oxford is to get a congestion charge of £5 per car per day, starting this autumn. Charges will be levied for driving past one of six camera sites. The decision, intended to accelerate bus services and encourage cycling/walking, was taken at an Oxfordshire County Council cabinet meeting this morning.

I took inspiration from the always classy @jacoblatonis.me recently and added support for underscores in integer and float literals in YARA. It makes reading large integers (in any supported base) much easier.
