"Walk on Market Street for more than a minute or two, and one will witness drivers violating the private car ban with impunity. Moreover, as shown in the lead image, they're often speeding and otherwise driving dangerously. That's why Streets Forward, the group founded by advocate Luke Bornheimer, launched a tool for people to report such violations. He's set up two sites, one for photos and one for videos."
""Streets Forward encourages people to take photos and videos of private cars, SUVs, or trucks driving, stopping, or parking on car-free Market Street, blocking or delaying Muni vehicles, or driving fast or recklessly," he said. These include cars driving on the red center-running transit-only Lanes, where only Muni vehicles and taxis regulated by the city are permitted. Of course, this issue is underscored by Mayor Lurie's recent decision to allow Waymo and certain Ubers to operate legally on Market Street."
Drivers frequently violate the private car ban on Market Street, often speeding and driving dangerously. Vehicles commonly block or delay Muni by entering red center-running transit-only lanes reserved for Muni and regulated taxis. Streets Forward launched a reporting tool with separate sites for photos and videos to collect evidence of private cars, SUVs, and trucks driving, stopping, or parking on car-free Market Street. The reporting effort aims to raise awareness of the policy impacts and to bring accountability. The issue is intensified by Mayor Lurie's recent decision to legally allow Waymo and certain Ubers to operate on Market Street.
