Police spotting (junction watch)

I feel paralysed. Hang on…

That's better.

Cops also at junction of Walworth Road and Heygate Street today stopping RLJers.

Saw cops pulling people over on OKR this morning also.

Yeah, I saw a guy on a white bike getting ticked off there just before 9.

I saw police this morning. They were in a van stopped at the same set of lights I was. We both proceeded forwards when the lights went green. It was joyous.

one officer has been standing on the southwest corner of Old st and Burnhill rd all week. Today as i rode through green and 15 peds walked against red and swarmed around me he said something to me I couldn't quite pick up.

velodrone - not to be confused with http://velodrone.tumblr.com/ aka Verbs & Nouns on here.

Anyway, carry on.

(as long as the lights green of course)

Popo stopping people on the South side of Blackfriars bridge today.
Good job, but there must be a way to stop RLJ-ers without forcing everyone else to swerve or crash.

Noticed police at the north end of rotherhite tunnel. And canary wharf junction yesterday.

North side of Southwark bridge this morning...

Loads of Police (20+)pulling over Cyclists and Motorists at the beginning of Jamaica rd this morning...haven't a clue why...anyone know what they were up to?

It looks as though they were having a crackdown on Riding on Two Wheels (or at least, the nobbers that ride along the pavement after coming out of Southwark Park), and Driving While Dark.

they've done surveys along there before asking routes etc... but that's more tfl than popo

The 5-0 are always so obvious when laying in wait at Southwark Bridge/Upper Thames Street that it really makes everyone's morning to see an unobservant prat sail through the red.

Lady on a borris bike got a shouting at from a police van on CS8 this morning for skipping a pedestrian red light...

They were doing a combination of things.

Saw them book a few cyclists and motorists for RLJing and riding across a ped crossing while peds were crossing. Seemed to be a general spot check rather than a cyclist crackdown.

They had spotters on side streets radioing ahead. The people riding out of Southwark park were sitting ducks.

I'm moving to London next week (1st November) and this is massively helpful given that I run reds all the time (where it's safe).

Living in Dalston and working near Chancery Lane seems to be full of prime fine spots!

Easy solution: don't jump red lights
RLJ /bad cyclists thread>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

Or at least if you don't notice the popo before jumping a red, you aren't paying enough attention to jump a red safely.

For the last two days there has been a bobby catching cyclists jump the lights outside the RBS building heading southbound down Bishopsgate in the evenings.

Last night a guy got a ticket for being over the line even though I (and I assume the fuzz) saw the bus behind him steam into the ASL and force him over. Cop was having none of it.
