Jehiah 17

First complaint, Oct 27th, 2015
Inspired by @D00RZ0NE, I reported a Livery driver in the PROTECTED 9th ave bike lane.
NYC Traffic Rule 4-12(p)(2) no driving in bike lane

That driver was not regulated by Taxi & Limousine Commission (T&LC) so the complaint was rejected. Since then, I have submitted 580 complaints to T&LC and this report will help you understand why.

We all see cars frequently running red lights. This has proved most challenging to document with legible photos because of vehicle speeds, but it can be done.
T&LC Rule 80-13(a)(3)(vii) Traffic Signal Violation
67 Complaints

8th Ave & West 25th St
I documented 17 red light violations at this one intersection. Each included photos showing vehicle before the crosswalk with a red light, them proceeding through intersection. Signal timing changes by DOT eventually resolved red-light running at this location.

West 23rd St
I've been cut off by illegal u-turns on many bike rides. If I can document it, I'll report it.
This has been a great exercise in practicing how quick I can get my phone out and take a picture.
NYC Traffic Rule 4-05(b)(1) No U-Turns in Business District

West 59th St
If you can find a two way street with a upscale hotel, you've found a spot with illegal u-turns.

9th Ave
It's a great social injustice that bus only lanes are not well enforced. Lincoln Tunnel traffic translates directly to drivers in this 4-7pm bus lane.

11th Ave
Another spot where drivers throw the rules out the window when there is tunnel traffic. Some drivers clearly think the double-yellow line is a suggestion.
T&LC Rule 80-13(a)(2) Driving Left of Center
14 Complaints

Driving in the bike lane, even to "peek ahead" in traffic creates dangerous conditions for cyclists.
NYC Traffic Rule 4-12(p)(2) No Driving in Bike Lane
99 Complaints

Should I be able to safely cross the crosswalk with my kids? Far to often pedestrians can't because of vehicles "blocking the box".
NYC Traffic Rule 4-07(b)(2) No Blocking Intersection or Crosswalks
61 Complaints

Every cyclist agrees "mixing zones" are dangerous. Beyond drivers failing to yield, drivers initiating turns from the center lane do not have a clear view of the bike lane.
NY VTL 1160(b)/(c) No Left Turn from Center Lane
25 Complaints
Note: DOT street designs on 9th Ave with a center divider have zero turns from center.

Aggressive driving is hard to prove, but unsafe lane changes, or a driver trying to intimidate you out of a bike lane often involves honking. Honking is easier to make a case for in a hearing.
NYC Traffic Rule 4-12(i) No Honking in Non-danger Situations
21 Complaints

While it's a "parking" violation, obstructing a bike lane has dramatic safety implications for cyclists.
NYC Traffic Rule 4-08(e)(9) No Stopping in Bike Lane
