Get out the way!

Graphic by Bruna Costa

What’s the purpose of building a bike lane if motorists keep parking in them? Drivers drive in the bike lane, cross without signaling, cut bicyclists out the lane, speed and nothing is being done about it. Listen, government, why are you all not enforcing these rules? People’s lives are at stake.

You’ve used tax dollars to cut off roads to make these bike lanes, and remake traffic lights to add pedestrian lights but, motorists are not obeying them. If you can make an agreement
to start putting cameras and fining people illegally in bus lanes, you can do the same for the bike lanes.

Start fining them X amount of dollars, start enforcing rules for what’s right and not letting specific people or classes get away with things. You were elected to help us feel and live safe during these crazy times.

Not just sit back and not do nothing.Most of us use bikes as a means of transportation and we would like to have our space so we don’t be in y’all’s way. Y’all don’t want us on the sidewalks or in the middle of the street holding up traffic, right? So stay the hell out of the lane then.

Have a blessed day.
