NYC Cycling Incidents Compilation 9 - October 2018 (Uber Mistake, Close Passes, Red Light Runners)

[@mace_inc.8455]

The common element to ALL of these situations is that things would work properly if everyone would FOLLOW THE RULES. However, they don't because there is basically zero accountability for breaking the rules.

3:27 as soon as you started talking about cyclists ignoring the signal... that guy asks what you're waiting for. Signage isn't all that clear though.

In so many cases, the bike lanes could be much more protected if they simply move the bike lane next to the curb of the sidewalk and parked cars could act as a barrier.

5:40-- Talk about vehicular superiority. I don't know much about the traffic laws in NY, but most states have statutes granting cyclists with all the rights and responsibilities of a motor vehicle. Seems like the driver of the white car can't stand a bicycle being in a traffic lane.

[@mickanvonfootscraymarket5520]

This reminds me of the one and only time I rode away from the bike lanes in NYC. Most drivers there have no awareness for their surroundings.

Yeah I have rode in Japan in the city it is a madhouse the country side there is not that many cars sweet .sometimes there are even no cops in the rural areas. I even bought a car while I was in Japan to get grocerys in the area I was in there was no cops so I never even registered it or got a licence did not ever get caught.

@@ActionKid in the netherlands, if a vehicle cant go faster/ isnt allowed to go faster than 60 km/p (40m/h) it isn't even allowed to go on roads that allow those speeds l. Let alone a cyclist on such roads. The ticket for cycling on such roads is 150euro's excl. Administration costs (9euro's) in total it will cost you 159euro or 181,50 USD.

If you handicap pedestrians crossing the street,, but they allowed to do it, you get fined with 90 $ by police - in germany ! How would it work, if they would fine it so much in the USA ?

[@ActionKid]

Only the blind or visually impaired have right of way when crossing against a traffic signal at a crosswalk.

[@sunnymas2656]

@@ActionKid For so hadicaped people we have noise signals at pedestrian traffic lights. And these people are marked with a yellow ribbon at their arm, with printed symbols. And/or with a white stick. (in germany) So even car driver can notice these handicaped people. But anyway: If someone is really handicaped, he has no guilt, if something doing wrong. Because if he cannot do it right. ie cannot see it. In germany we have § 1 - no. one of our traffic laws. Everyone must be careful for each others in the traffic. That fullfill all. I think, the same in the USA. And first looking, before start driving. Even a green traffic light, is not shure, if the road is free for driving. In a city you must look so much to everyone and everything. Your videos show it, too. A lot of people, bikes and cars in the streets. And the traffic lights. And maybe someone in the middle, who manage the traffic. Even young children or pets can run suddenly into a driveway.

[@niteshades_promise]

this is why i ride the sidewalk n trails. and those who claim its illegal to ride on the sidewalk ive done it for 20 yrs n had cops tell me its much safer.

[@ActionKid]

The legality of riding on the sidewalk depends on the jurisdiction. For instance, in NYC it's illegal but in New Jersey (AFAIK) it's allowed. You can ride on the sidewalk but you take a chance if a cop decides to enforce the law

[@deejay9474]

It's not safer. Drivers don't expect anyone to be moving that quickly on sidewalks, and they also have less visibility of you.
