Everywhere is a parking spot in #Ottawa

Unreadable at 2m. @ottawapolice.bsky.social you gotta start door knocking. These cars are all licensed to house addresses, you can drive by at your convenience.

An underrated feature of Lansdowne is that you can just park anywhere.

I'll keep being your road safety champion at City Hall.

I'm glad we're on the same page now. That's what the question's always been. Where will the line be drawn. At what number of dead does the public or city finally say — enough.

What the heck is happening on Ottawa's roads?!🚨 4 fatalities of vulnerable road users in 6 days. A driver rams into a bakery. 4 collisions involving serious injuries yesterday. And today, another pedestrian killed in Barrhaven. Am I the only candidate in this election talking about this? 1/

Another life lost on Ottawa roads today. I'm feeling pretty fucking helpless but something has got to change out there. If you have not voted yet, please go look into your candidates' positions on road safety, and then VOTE, DAMMIT.

Police don’t have a clue what to do here, they have botched other deaths involving heavy vehicles. Also, Danielle Naçu, a driver’s car's door opened into her and she was thrown under a passing car. The driver got a $110 Highway Traffic Act dooring ticket and nothing more www.cbc.ca/news/canada/...

Good job dingus. Immediately to the left of the little #Rogers truck is a marked off section of parking spaces but this dude finds the bike lane more convenient.

Almost three weeks later the driver who killed this young woman is still at large probably still driving their dark coloured Ford Escape. Please tell us again how there's a "war on cars". A license to drive is a license to kill. #Autowa #ottnews

Just went out for an errand 4 km away on my bike. Had a driver swing over to cut me off before an intersection, then continue straight; a driver stop in the bike lane in front of me and then reverse toward me; a driver going through the intersection with a phone at eye level in his right hand;

Second fucking day in a row a car has blown the red lights on my daughter’s bus. I swear it was the same guy too. I’m bringing some rocks tomorrow.

www.cbc.ca/news/canada/... Police urge everyone to wear more hi-viz.

After the pedestrian carnage at Bank/Riverside area I hung around thinking, “I’ll leave when nobody does some sort of traffic infraction” - I have too much video to process. It’s simply unbelievable. Not to drivers, they don’t GAF. But anyone else, it’s mystifying. I’ll try to make a video. #autowa

F YEAH Toronto. Keep it coming. Be the sand in the gears.

Good morning Ottawa. Bonjour Ottawa. www.ctvnews.ca/ottawa/artic...

Considering there’s a “War on Cars,” according to the Mayor and his doting councillors/candidates, there sure as hell seem to be a significant number of drivers attacking pedestrians, cyclists, and buildings. I hope everyone is OK. The last time I was there I was sat exactly where that car is.

How's that speed camera ban going in Ontario? - 30 traffic fatalities in Ottawa so far this year, exceeding the 23 total fatalities in 2025 - Toronto on track for a five year traffic fatality high. - Windsor reporting "staggering" number of injury crashes this year www.cbc.ca/news/canada/...

Authorities in Kansas say a woman fired an AR-15 near a soccer field during a youth game, killing two people and hospitalizing 11 others.

You know, there were fucking drivers behind the wheel of these vehicles @ctvnewsottawa.bsky.social ?? #autowa “On Thursday, a 78-year-old woman died from her injuries after being struck by a vehicle in Sandy Hill. On Wednesday, a 60-year-old man was struck by a vehicle and killed in Barrhaven.”

Drivers take all and give nothing

🦃 is done and it's back to the weekend grind. To bootstrap our machine vision training data, I'm looking at purchasing a medium grade ALPR or speed enforcement camera. I know it's a very long shot, but if anyone has experience in the field or recommendations - please reach out. #Autowa #Ottawa

When cops tell you that road safety is a shared responsibility. Yeah, fuck off with that.

"Quis custodiet ipsos custodes?" is a very common Ottawa question.

😅

Police: “This is a graphic illustration of one reason that impaired driving is so dangerous. It’s potentially fatal, not be to mention embarrassing and costly" You're driving a 100k car drunk, I don't think 2.4k is meaningful, nor are they dying of embarrassment...

Seconded. Many of these acts are quite minor in themselves, so drivers really don’t get why people (like me sometimes) react badly. What’s the big deal, right? When it’s the third time *today,* or something that happens two days out of three at this particular corner, it gets to be a big deal.

Another collision involving a pedestrian, downtown at Friel St.

The statistical averages must be met, and another life cut short and fed to the beast. 8th pedestrians killed 29th traffic fatality Many more maimed and grievously injured.

Ottawa By-law is still not enforcing the illegal paving of front yards for parking spaces. They had paused enforcement until after the new Zoning By-law and Access By-law passed, but those came into effect months ago and they're still not enforcing the rules.

Police Probe Fatal Kanata Crash bulldogottawa.com/police-probe... #ottawa #ottnews #ottcity

Lawless world out there.

Long shot here: I have dashcam footage from yesterday ~2:20 (October 6) of a fairly serious collision on St.Joseph in Orleans (near the apple orchard). Some braintrust in the light coloured SUV made a completely illegal turn onto the street and got clobbered by the blue Honda Fit.

Mayor Bloggins' #Autowa

That's two motorcycles in 2 days.

What we could be doing @en.ottawa.ca

Motorcycle vs Car on Hunt Club, West of Bank St. The shoe of the Motorcycle rider is like 20m. Before. There is a grey Volvo with the windshield smashed. MT @autowa.app

Everytime I see a post like this, I wonder 'which Stellantis product will it be this time'. Cause it's always a RAM, a Jeep, or a Charger driver.

1. Locate vehicle 2. Crush vehicle 3. Make driver watch their vehicle getting crushed. 4. Suspend driver's license.

Drivers of #Autowa A pedestrian crossing g is not a four-way stop

Just spent the last twenty minutes trying to report this via @en.ottawa.ca 311 page Frustrating experience Gawd this city’s web presence sucks
