Another great idea destroyed by historical knowledge.

Better idea? PA Ave-style cycle track down the middle (between the yellow lines). Nobody seems to park there.

Well, almost nobody.

What is that parking meter for? The spots in the road?

In the 1st photo, the white Nissan is parked in the space associated to the meter.

Unfortunately, my efforts at replacing you all with Skynet are not going very well.


Not so much.


Nope, wrong again.

Just set the probability to always be 80% blocked. Done.

Do you need more help training your Skynet?

What are the legal repercussions? If I'm injured by a motor vehicle parked in a bike lane are they responsible? If I damage a motor vehicle parked in a bike lane am I responsible?

If both vehicles are cars and we are talking about a standard vehicle lanes does it change the outcome of responsibility?


The internet has told me that in Massachusetts the moving vehicle is always at fault - just wondering if in this area anyone knows.

So I presented parkingdirty.com at #bikehacknight this week which generated some additional interest. This has led to 2 new things:

1) I now have some complete data on Hayes @ 12th St: 2016-09-20 | 2016-09-21
2) In case somebody who knows more about computer vision than I do wants to try training their own classifier, there are now training datasets up on the homepage with thousands of already tagged images.
