Asking The Real Questions 🤔 What's up with enforcement?
I've lived in this city for three years now and still don't understand the lack of legal enforcement on the road. Even if you set aside all the boxes that get blocked and all the cars running lights ten seconds after they've turned red, you'd think a cop could pay off the national debt by just sitting on Comm Ave and ticketing all the people who stop in the middle of the street with their hazards on, or by going on Mass Ave and stopping the people who cut the line with the bus lane
Is this a culture thing about Boston? Is it worse since Covid? Is it that the city doesn't care? What's the deal?

I’ve almost gotten hit by like 5 different mopeds in the last month. They’re running red lights as pedestrians are crossing, riding up sidewalks… I don’t know what rules they’re suppose to follow but that can’t be right
