DC Laws I Wish Were Enforced


Signs
Originally uploaded by dcdan
There are a few DC Laws that I wish were more vigorously enforced.
1) People who violate the no standing or stopping signs, this is a real pain in the ass especially when biking as we don't have much room or respect in the street in the first place and now the violators, who are usually double parked put bikers in extra jeopardy. There should also be not be exceptions made for this for delivery trucks, taxis, hired car services or emergency personnel who are not actively addressing an emergency.
2) Failure to signal a turn, I don't get why people don't use a turn signal especially to signal a right turn it's not like someone will block you from it.
3) Littering you don't have to be a member of the Sierra Club to know that throwing your trash on the ground it just plain wrong, seriously you were raised better. This also applies to cigarette butts.
4) People who park illegally, I don't care if you are in church or not get up earlier to find a legal parking spot or pray for one.

DC Law enforcement, this is a great opportunity to help generate revenue for the city while making it a nicer, cleaner and safer place to live and work. (Read this Fixing Broken Windows)
