Nicholas Duncan Posted January 11, 2012 Posted January 11, 2012 Hi all I've just created a map of cycling accidents in South Africa over at http://cyclinginfo.co.za/cycling-accidents-in-south-africa-map-view/ I figure that over time, this can server as a safety tool for all cyclists by showing which areas are considered "high risk". The map is very basic at the moment and I'm working on getting it to include information such as: 1.) Time and date of the accident2.) A link to an article or forum post (if any) regarding the accident.3.) Any other information that may be valuable. Your thoughts on this would be great Nick
TNT1 Posted January 11, 2012 Posted January 11, 2012 Include the safety stuff, as in hi-jackings and attempted hi-jackings.
Iron Posted January 11, 2012 Posted January 11, 2012 Think its a good idea , Also why don't you include hijacking ?
davetapson Posted January 11, 2012 Posted January 11, 2012 Bloody hell, with TW around Benoni is going to be swamped!! A one man demographic changer...

Tiny K Posted January 11, 2012 Posted January 11, 2012 dunno if you can do it - to allow one to select province specific. Once people start sending in loads of accident / hi-jacking reports, that map is gonna get overcrowded with pin.
Tiny K Posted January 11, 2012 Posted January 11, 2012 Here is one to plot - on the Potch-Parys road. Abraham Louw was out cycling and a car hit him from behind. Here is his FB profile - bike is a wreck! http://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=713437510. Have not looked for internet based news article yet.
Nicholas Duncan Posted January 11, 2012 Author Posted January 11, 2012 Thanks for the feedback guys. I will keep you updated on the progress
onetrackmind Posted January 11, 2012 Posted January 11, 2012 Bloody hell, with TW around Benoni is going to be swamped!! A one man demographic changer... Technically, what TW has are not accidents. ac·ci·dent (ks-dnt, -dnt)n.1.a. An unexpected and undesirable event, especially one resulting in damage or harm: car accidents on icy roads.b. An unforeseen incident: A series of happy accidents led to his promotion.c. An instance of involuntary urination or defecation in one's clothing.
Nicholas Duncan Posted January 11, 2012 Author Posted January 11, 2012 I take it "TW" is a person.. a particularly crazy person?
TNT1 Posted January 11, 2012 Posted January 11, 2012 Technically, what TW has are not accidents. ac·ci·dent (ks-dnt, -dnt) c. An instance of involuntary urination or defecation in one's clothing. You are correct. He does option "c" in someone else's clothing.
