In the absence of a flair system on lemmy yet, let’s try to make it easier to scan through posts by type in here by using tags:
It'd be cool if cyclists could sign up for a program like this. Just a little box on the handlebars that you press a button and it takes and sends a picture
They don't make an SD card large enough for me to take that many photos. I spend almost half of the street portion of my ride dodging cars parked in the bike lane. It's quite the contrast to when I'm in the woods on single track.
My city has an app for submitting traffic complaints that automatically grabs your location and asks for a photo of the offending vehicle and plate - and they've actually followed-up by sending people to confirm the violation and issue tickets. I've reported so many stupid trucks parked in bike lanes and motorcycles parked on sidewalks lol - carbrains are so obsessed with driving but can't seem to do it properly ¯_(ツ)_/¯
Here: you dropped this \
That’s sick. What city?
There’s a website called Bike Lane Uprising that has a database of cars violating bike lanes. Could probably raise millions for cities if they allowed cyclists to report violations.
In germany there is weg.li thats is almost as good. It also fills in automatically most of the infos on the cars so you can send the stuff yourself pretty quickly
The camera photographs the parking sorcerer, and the vehicle owner will eventually receive mail with a fine notice.
My browser is good at translating
Dayam! That notice is fine
Wait, you guys don't have parking sorcerers?
parks in bus lane
Wow I'm surprised you could find parking around here, you must be a parking sorceror
Is this firefox translate beta? It really is bad lol, at least its not by googlr
It's not super great in its current state, but it running local is definitely a good thing.
I think so, I'm using firefox and clicked the translate button in the address bar
Wait for drivers to complain about how unfair this is and how the "fine industry" is out there to get them
Carbrains often have a victim complex - anytime they're penalized or there's the threat of penalty for doing something stupid and dangerous, they whine and cry and try to skirt the law (tinting windows, radar detectors, license plates that supposedly traffic cams can't see, etc). Biggest bunch of babies.
Awesome! Every bus should be equipped with this and the yellow button should be used all the time for everything!
This is probably better than my proposal of a big plow on the front of the bus that just destroys the blocking car.
The other day I saw a whole intersection (in NYC) blocked up because some asshole was double parked, which blocked the bus, which blocked me on a bike and all the car traffic from proceeding through the intersection.
Should equip them with a bull catcher
Your wife?
It's just alpr in the bus to avoid separate parking enforcement cars on the bus routes. I'll bet soon garbage trucks, ambulances and all city vehicles will have these. Parking enforcement 5.0
If they park in an environmental lane that is only intended for buses and bicycles, they will also receive a point in Flensburg.
Are they parking, or playing a tabletop RPG?
The point system is actually pretty clever, because it solves the issue of rich people just paying their way out. The points allowance is equally scarce for everyone. And it makes the stakes for repeat offenders very clear.
Does it hold the rich accountable when they hire others to drive them around and to break the law for them?
As a driver you'd lose your license and with that your job.
this only serve to collect money and to monitor us. does shit all to deal with the number of cars on the raod and the poor city planning that allows for cars. instead we need a system that allows otherwise drivers to have a cheaper alternative. a system of taxation that focuses on earnings of the driver, the size of the car and city panning and parking that stops drivers moving through cities. we shouldn't be so supportive of surveillance, what is once used to keep us safe is used to trap us.
