Briefly

Is SFPD going after cyclists on Market Street?
"The officer was friendly, but he was saying that, starting today, police will be enforcing cyclists/mopeds/e-bikes/scooters heavily on Market St this entire month."
"Sernoffsky said, SFPD is working with the mayor's office on doing 'high-visibility enforcement' on streets that are part of the city's high-injury network."
"The goal is to save lives and protect the public, Sernoffsky said."
"Krissa Corbett Cavouras, Communications Director at the San Francisco Bicycle Coalition, said that she had not received any reports today of police officers writing citations to cyclists en masse on Market Street."
A cyclist reported being ticketed for running a red light at an empty intersection, with police enforcing traffic laws on Market Street. The mayor's office initiated this enforcement targeting two-wheeled vehicles. SFPD clarified that the enforcement is part of a broader safety initiative aimed at high-injury areas, not limited to Market Street. The goal is to enhance public safety and reduce accidents. Despite the focus on enforcement, reports of mass citations on Market Street have not been confirmed by local bicycle advocacy groups.
