Wonder if this is just a preemptive measure to prevent someone from suing the city, claiming they were "aiding and abetting" women seeking abortions? After all, the law is so vague that a Republican extremist (or a Democratic rabble-rouser) could probably argue allowing women to use those roads runs afoul of the law.

By allowing the mother to live freely and not be in a jail cell the moment they have sex, they are aiding and abetting them.

Give it 6 more months and it will just be "Texas Republicans ban women."
How do they plan to enforce this! Write a ticket to every pregnant woman that drives.
It's the same private citizen enforcement that was done for the Texas abortion ban in the first place. It does an end run around the Constitution and case law where it's not technically the state doing any of the enforcement.
