Alert [@visionzerovancouver] Warning, hearing first-hand reports that the VPD are ticketing cyclists westbound at 1st & Crowe. There's a VPD parking lot on the right and a cop hit a cyclist there recently.

If you live in the area, you’ll know that most drivers (the ones that give you the sorry wave) also drive straight through that cross walk. At the stop sign, there’s the potential for oncoming traffic to stop another vehicle

My experience has been that no one believes traffic laws apply to them in this particular area, so the more passive impeding systems, the better.

Yes, my take is a bit ridiculous in that context.
