They actually started towards the end of the summer, at least here in Brooklyn. Hadn't seen a biker get pulled over for things like not coming to a complete halt at stops signs in 3 years I've been here. Witnessed about 5 of them in the span of 3 weeks, heard about plenty more. I'm all for it. Casual bikers around here are not exactly fun to deal with.
- Brian-Puccio 12y agoI think one of the issues is that lots of people play fast and loose with the rules when moving about ... whether it be walking, bicycling or driving. And it's so easy to say "well I use this mode and I notice the people who use THAT mode are constantly breaking the rules and that's not safe!". If there's a demand to enforce the rules more stringently in the name of safety, would those doing the demanding also want to see citations for jaywalking?
- ecopoesis 12y agoI for one would love to see more enforcement of jaywalking. I drive through the intersection of Cambridge and First in Cambridge, MA by Lechmere almost every day, and the jaywalkers who ignore their lights to run for the trolley cause far more traffic problems and almost accidents and then cars or bikes.
- judk 12y agoSounds like we need longer light phases to keep cars out of the way of trolley riders. People first.
