Note to Cyclists in Cambridge (MA)

[gnomi]

The Cambridge police have started ticketing cyclists who violate traffic laws.

Me, I say it's about time. I've complained about cyclists in the past (see point 8), and with luck the ticketing will make some people stop their obnoxious behavior.

(yes, I seem to be Posty McPostalot today. There may or may not be another one later today in which I attempt to lead you all in song. It depends on how the rest of my morning goes, I think.)

This isn't that new - Cambridge goes on a mini rampage every now and then on doing this. I believe they're the only place locally that does. Sadly, I don't think it helps as much as it should, especially since they're not consistent, they only pick a few places to check, and there just isn't that much they can do.

Now, if they did this all the time, instead of only occasionally, and other towns did it too, maybe something would change.

I wish they'd do it in Kendall, especially at the Broadway-Third St. intersection. With everyone coming off the T, it's a bit nuts there with the cars and the pedestrians and the cyclists.
