Gandalf Posted March 3, 2015 Share We have the same problem here with the cycle lane in Joburg, no one cares, not even metro. What are the correct measurements to take? Pics, and then report them, to who? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Captain Fastbastard Mayhem Posted March 3, 2015 Share I work nearby and the drivers park over green lane everyday and nothing happened to them... Maybe we must all get together and cycle along the green lane. If they park, we must put big poster with wall glue over their windows...Like these guys? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QSBsVy-6SR4 Edited March 3, 2015 by El Capitan Moriarty, Epic Rookie, Danger Dassie and 1 other 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Disylizzy Posted March 3, 2015 Share Like these guys? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QSBsVy-6SR4 Problem with trying to do that here in SA it won't just be a fist fight you might get in to, knives and guns will more than likely be involved.

HappyMartin Posted March 3, 2015 Share In Joburg cycling lanes are mostly used by runners, and boy do they get uppity if you get too close, and by motorists throwing glass bottles out their cars. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hairy Posted March 3, 2015 Share The only thing the green cycle lanes in Bree St are good for is parking. I use them daily on my commute to work and for the past two years I have made the authorites aware of the misuse (particularly outside the electrical hardware store between 7 and 9am) with no progress. One begins to wonder what the point of even trying is..and those drivers outside the electrical store don't like being told they can not park in the green lane either! sawystertrance and Ry Short 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pbp2007 Posted March 3, 2015 Share This was taken up nearly 3 years ago and it seems the situation has not changed. https://community.bikehub.co.za/topic/120238-rant-cape-town-city-cycle-lanes/ I wrote to the City at the time, attaching photos and descriptions of vehicles parked dangerously and illegally. If they can't even go after what seem like sitting ducks (the vehicles involved), I don't feel full of confidence that the 1-metre law will be applied with any vigour.

V12man Posted March 3, 2015 Share ...with a leaky bottle of brake fluid in the basket.WTF is wrong with a nice carbon fibre cycling shoe contact with a mirror.... at speed.... or possible some pepper spray in an airconditioning duct.... :ph34r: Tumbleweed 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
droo Posted March 3, 2015 Share So when did anyone last see a traffic law being enforced in CT? Well, besides speed limits, which involves sitting under a tree with a radar, coffee and a doughnut? I very much doubt that a cycle lane is higher on the traffic department's list of priorities than finding a shady spot to have a nap or ignoring moving violations. I think the sticker idea is a good one. Captain Fastbastard Mayhem 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the sticker idea is a good one.I very often see the traffic cops fining parked cars outside the Cape Quarter area ... you know, where there is just about no street parking, but a huge underground payed parking area one can use. Many of the cars parked illegally (as viewed from my window) are big ticket / expensive cars who park just where they please. This is within a short walking distance from the traffic office though.
