In 2015, the SFPD began to aggressively ticket cyclists for rolling through stop signs.

San Francisco Bike group, The Wigg Party, sent a bat signal: malicious compliance on tomorrow evening's commute. We follow the rules to a T.

All along The Wiggle, the city's arterial bike route, cyclists line up. They wait their turn at each stop sign, coming to a complete stop before proceeding. This crippled the evening commute for all modes of transportation. It took 15 minutes to travel just 2 blocks. The SFPD quickly responded by putting the enforcement measures on hold.
