Utility cyclist in and around Coventry, with a camera or two. Pronouns: he/him/his. Mastodon: @CoventryCycle@toot.bike Used to be: @CoventryCycle on Twitter.
Just saw it as well. On a first glance, fewer out of time NFAs than in April, but will have to do a detailed analysis. Drivers have been comparatively well behaved in my neck of the woods, only 13 reports in those 3 months, compared to 50 in the same period last year.

If it will be released at all.

I have still high hopes the blip in the second half of April was related to the Easter holiday (staff being on annual leave and OpSnap being de-prioritised).

A couple I saw were mounted too low on their posts, partially hanging over some road signs. I reported them to the LA. Maybe that accelerates their demise.

I started with a reasonably polite letter.

Oi. That is concerning. I only had one report in April, on the 5th, which was acted upon. But after Easter they just seem to have given up (in past months, the file was chronological, so I would assume not much submitted in the second half of April got any action).

I stopped reading their responses and instead wait for the monthly updates.

... Which you wouldn't have checked if they'd kept their fingers off the phone...

That's an expensive few seconds.

West Midlands Police have acted on my #OpSnap reports of vehicles left in a similar position. Video needs to ideally show, how views between pedestrians and traffic in the carriageway are affected. YMMV with other forces.

This is what those campaigners think is adequate for cycling.

If anybody wonders what cycling on Clifford Bridge Road is like without cycleway, here's a video from a Sunday afternoon in summer 2023. Three close passes within a minute resulting in three reports to WMP.

Wasn't me, the one with 539 entries. 😇

It takes a little work, but with location, make and model, I can usually identify the ones I reported.

West Midlands Police have also fined obstructive parking following an OpSnap report of mine. Still not towed, obviously, but better than nothing.

While I sometimes work up a sweat when cycling, for me as a utility cyclist, transpiration is not necessarily the objective of my riding.

SCNR. That typo was too funny.

I use www.adobe.com/uk/acrobat/o... in a private browser window, which I close and reopen after each spreadsheet.

Oh, I'll have to check the outcome of my reports.
