And yet the traffic rules don’t stop cyclists from riding the wrong way down my one-way street a dozen times a day. I’ve nearly hit them with my car door or walked in front of them with my dog because I’m checking the other direction, where cars would be coming from. No cop is going to pull over a bicycle so they just ignore the rules.
I shouldn’t have to anticipate that someone might be breaking the law. It’s hard enough to cross the street or open my door when I’m only dealing with law-abiding traffic. Maybe those people should anticipate that they’re going to get knocked off their bike by a car door when they willingly and knowingly break traffic laws.

Well, at least you know where to check now

Rules often allow cyclists to go either way on one way streets
