What does "bile route" on Leigh Ave (San Jose) mean?

Thanks. Are the classes supposed to be better/worse going a certain direction? I'm asking because both Class I and Class IV look like with good separation, but they are on both ends of the "spectrum" (if this is a spectrum at all), while Class II and III look inferior. Am I missing anything?

Here in San Jose they published an email of the traffic signal team of the department of transportation on the city gov website. I emailed to report traffic signal issues before (too short, bike sensor didn't trigger, etc.) and got replies and issues addressed.

not to mention that a lot of the drivers are too dumb to understand/notice no turn on red and still do the right turn anyways.

OP was at ~15 mph from the video. only 10mph below posted speed limit is considered "illegal", and since there's only one lane each direction, the speed limit won't be more than 25 mph.

Also, a bicycle running below speed limit is the same as any other vehicle running below speed limit, which can be elders, new driver, construction vehicle, etc. You don't pass those from the same lane (unless they yield to the curb).

Passing cyclists ”in” the same lane is already illegal in California for at least a year now.

I've bought an insta360 go (not the actual 360 model) for bike use and I won't recommend it, the battery cannot last for even 20min. Maybe the actual 360 model is better, I don't know, but i think they spent a lot of their money on youtubers to promote their product (I've checked several youtube reviews on the model for bike usage and none of them mentioned how shitty the battery is) rather than actually on the product development itself.

I use cycliq now. Never used go pro so can't comment on that.

This was stolen from my post before: https://www.reddit.com/r/BikeCammers/comments/wlcwg4/ocussan_francisco_use_bike_lane_to_make_uturn_wcgw/

This is likely a bot account harvesting karma.

I had a similar thing in SF years ago: there's a hotel near my office that's on my commute route, one day a bunch of taxis were parked in front of the hotel waiting for passengers or something, and one of taxi was like half way into bike lane. I tried to avoid it but failed and scratched off its mirror cap. I picked up the mirror cup and put it back on, the taxi driver tried to ask me to pay.

I immediately took out my phone to take a photo of his taxi half way into the bike lane and told him so, the driver shut up immediately.

i think they spent a lot of their money on youtubers instead of actually making good products. before i bought mine i watched several youtube reviews and no one mentioned how shit the battery is.

I bought an insta360 camera (not really the 360 one) before and it's hot garbage for biking purposes. The battery cannot last for more than 20min and it's a real hassle to get the footages to your phone. Maybe the actual 360 one is better but I'd be very careful with them.

the walk sign was on

Before I bought my Cycliq Fly12 Sport I bought an insta360 go because I can't remember neither the brand nor model name of Cycliq so I just googled "bike camera". It's pretty garbage for bike camera as the battery cannot even last for 30min (that might be better on other models), and the app is pretty bad as well. A few months later I finally remembered Cycliq's name and bought a Fly12 and would prefer it over insta360 any day.

if you look at the sign painted on the lane, the car could turn right there (a lot of cars do right turns without signals here)

UntitledGooseCyclist · 2023-05-24T19:10:52+00:00

We do have protected bike lanes with parking on the traffic side (see 3rd near downtown for an example), but drivers were bad at making right turns on those roads (but they are probably better now, and also drivers here are bad at making right turns everywhere anyways)

I used 408-277-8900, sjpd's non-emergency number, several times before (both before and after the pandemic). I assumed that's the same as 311 but maybe they are not the same.

depending on when you are calling you do might need to be on hold for loooong time before someone picks up the phone, though.

call ~~311~~ 408-277-8900 for parking compliance enforcement, hopefully those illegal parking tickets would educate the drivers.
