  • for nyc, there's https://apps.apple.com/us/app/reported-nyc-311-made-easy/id9... that makes submitting violations super easy. If the vehicle reported is a taxi/uber/lyft/rideshare vehicle registered with taxi and limo commission (TLC), the submission goes to TLC and drivers can be (and often are) assessed a fine after a hearing (which can be…

  • I've previously asked my municipality for numbers on how many tickets they give for cars illegally parked in cycle lanes. It was something like ~6 a day in total. Between over a hundred city officers out and about to ticket stuff. Which is weird, because just on my bike commute home I see more cars in cycle lanes like that. There are multiple…

  • Worked with Jonathan a long time back on a smartwatch project and he was developing Loud Bicycle as a side project at that point, happy to see that he's still working on bike safety.For anyone in SF (since it looks like this doesn't report to SF 311 yet) there's a similar but more generalized app called Solve SF which aims to make submissions…

  • My favorite one is a "Share the Road" sign with a bike on it, intended to remind drivers of bikers' presence -- but placed in the middle of a bike lane. Palo Alto loves these for some reason

  • I know it’s not exactly a bike lane, but if I took a camera on just one trip down a San Francisco “slow street” I could probably report a dozen violations on any day.

  • > One report documents a problem; many reports can make the case for enforcement and safer, protected bike lanes.
