Check out this SFPD prowler parked in the Funset District – groove on that funky, aerodynamic light bar on top.
Almost thought it was a fake from the filming of NBC’s horrible Trauma action/dramedy at first, but no, if you count the points on the big blue door star it comes up seven (and not eight) every time.
Fake Michael Schumacher will have even less of a chance of evading Park Station the next time he drives his Ferrari F355 Spyder to Haight Ashbury for a pint or five.
Maybe our City is just trying out something new…

Read this bit here over at BIKE NOPA to see that at least one SFPD lieutenant doesn’t consider the death of pedestrian Melissa Dennison to be a case of vehicular manslaughter. According to Lt. Ramlin of Park Station, at this point:
“There is no determination that it was manslaughter.”
The memorial at Fell and Broderick as it appeared a few days ago:
(Personally, I think when people use the term “speeding” in regards to traffic on Fell and Oak, they’re not saying what mean. Are they talking about cars literally going more than 30 mph? It’s not clear.)
The police report should be coming out soon…

The next time you visit Haight Ashbury, which is a Drug-Free Zone by the way, see if you can score a groovy black T-shirt commemorating 100 years of policing at Yelp-rated Park Station. Ask about it the next time you get pulled over on your bike or in your Ferrari

Why’s that?
You’d think a “drug free” area would be bereft of scoring opportunities, but that doesn’t appear to be the case around Hippy Hill in the Haight Ashbury section of San Francisco.
Just saying…

Here was the scene this morning during the A.M. drive – a cyclist getting ticketed by a motorcycle officer. Don’t know the details of this particular incident, but it wouldn’t be hard for you to find cyclists blowing stop signs or red lights at any intersection in San Francisco.
Individual officers sometimes get on a kick and issue tickets for the same type of infraction over and over all day. If you get cops acting together, as sometimes happens, then you’d call it an enforcement action. They could go after drivers who roll through stop signs, or pedestrians who jaywalk – you never know.
Harley Davidson of a bitch! Yet another ticket from a Dudley Perkins-motosickle-riding buckethead.
Some would like to see Page become the Page St. Bicycle Boulevard - this would allow cyclists to maintain speed. Traffic circles were tried before, but those things proved unpopular.
Leave us turn to Idaho for the answer – stop signs mean “stop” for drivers but mean “yield” for cyclists:
TITLE 49
MOTOR VEHICLES
CHAPTER 7
PEDESTRIANS AND BICYCLES
49-720. STOPPING — TURN AND STOP SIGNALS. (1) A person operating a
bicycle or human-powered vehicle approaching a stop sign shall slow down and,
if required for safety, stop before entering the intersection.
What’s wrong with California having a similar law?
Let’s be careful out there.

Back on the Haight Ashbury beat:
Newly promoted Capt. Teresa Barrett is keeping in touch with those in the area served by the SFPD’s (Golden Gate) Park Station in Haight Ashbury. At yesterday’s meeting of the Haight Ashbury Neighborhood Council she covered a variety of issues, including traffic enforcement.
Is it possible to hand out 56 citations to motorists for failing to yield to pedestrians crossing the street in just four hours at one intersection? Apparently it is. Perhaps around Masonic and Grove.
Keep in touch with things in the hood by reading the newsletter. Be sure to check out the story of the guy who sold his Playstation through craigslist for counterfeit money. Let’s be careful out there.
