Tennessee's Hands Free law prohibits drivers from holding cell phones while operating a vehicle. This includes talking, texting, or using apps. Violations can result in fines and points on a driving record, with increased penalties for repeat offenses. handsfreetn.com

Replying to @NashvilleDOT
@NashvilleDOT @JacobKupin4D19 Seigenthaler ramp pitch means that cyclists are coming into this blindness at 20 mph, with no sightlines and nothing slowing cars down. This needs to be a raised crossing with restrictions on 18 wheelers. When I crossed, I got screamed at. Not fun.

@NashvilleDOT @JacobKupin4D19 Almost hit yet again this morning since no one could see around the Coors truck. We need permanent posts expanding the sightlines by pushing parking further out.

Replying to @1045TheZone
@1045TheZone The van in front of the Hyundai is yours, both parked illegally, putting bike commuters in danger. Not acceptable.

@JacobKupin4D19 @NashvilleDOT Since there was zero effort made in keeping drivers out of this lane, there is zero compliance from drivers. That won't change until the design changes.

I can't be any more serious, if you live in an area of the US prone to natural disasters it is almost certainly built for car sprawl and you WILL NOT BE ABLE TO ESCAPE IN A CAR. Buy an e-bike with hauling capacity for most prized possessions, keep it charged. I'm not kidding.

Yes the cold is tough, but what's worse as a bike commuter is having to take so much time reporting violent drivers (including some disgusting behavior from @WeGoTransit #28-which I often ride, how's that for irony-at 7:30 this morning). Just exhausting stuff.

First commute of 2025, I was hoping for a good start. At first stop sign, immediately get screamed at, then 4 drivers don't care if they kill me in 4 miles. OK. So that's how it still is in Nashville. So exhausting.

ATTENTION #Nashville: Beware of spoofing scam from those posing as MNPD personnel asking for monetary payment to satisfy a warrant, missed court date or jury duty in unusual methods like Bitcoin & gift cards. Plz DO NOT engage these callers & report it @ cutt.ly/aeCL9ZoZ.

Well the final stage of this site becoming a hellscape certainly developed rapidly. Planning to look into the bluer site. Connect if you are friend-shaped.

If we're going to have a "department of government efficiency", we should probably start with a conversation about how state DOTs spend billions of dollars of our money, and how little relationship it bears to the outcomes they claim to want. usa.streetsblog.org/2024/11/…
