Moin @ADFC_Hamburg @CriticalMassHamburg @VCDNord – kanntet ihr schon https://mapcomplete.org/ghostbikes.html ? Irgendwer in Hamburg hat da jedenfalls schon einige (noch nicht alle) eingetragen.
Bin drauf gestupst worden, als ich gestern vorm Start der CM mit @pietervdvn von @MapComplete ins Gespräch kam, der zum #37C3 hier ist. – Ich glaube, es gibt ziemlich viele faszinierende Schnittpunkte zwischen #FOSS, #VerkehrsWende und #Aktivismus überhaupt :)

(I don't speak German, so I'll stick to English. Feel free to reply in German though, I'll figure it out)
Yeah, there are definitively intersection in the struggles to promote a social justice/climate justice and Open Source. They have some of the same challenges, but FLOSS can definitively help with the social/climate justice!

For example, the #cycling #association (#Fietsersbond) in #Brugge did measure the widths of all the streets in the old city center. There is a rule in the Belgian road code which says that a car needs to leave at least one meter of room when overtaking a bicycle. We also have a special traffic sign, making this explicit. This is the result: https://mapcomplete.org/width?z=14.3&lat=51.21002384782781&lon=3.226804733276367
@P4F_Hamburg @ADFC_Hamburg @CriticalMassHamburg @VCDNord @MapComplete For cyclists, there is also the map with bicycle pumps and bicycle shops (https://mapcomplete.org/cyclofix.html). For the more hardcore, you can also map cycle infrastructure with https://mapcomplete.org/cycle_infra.html
@P4F_Hamburg @ADFC_Hamburg @CriticalMassHamburg @VCDNord @MapComplete To come back to the ghost bikes, @ghostbikebot does a monthly report about the total number of ghostbikes known by OpenStreetMap
@pietervdvn This is neat! In our place the rule is even 1.5m clearance for overtaking within city boundaries and 2m on country roads. But that‘s pure theory, as most car drivers don‘t know or care about this rule. (And we don’t have an official sign for it.)
As to #FOSS here, I know about (though have never used) the https://www.openbikesensor.org hardware that measures these distances in real life. Also very interesting!
@P4F_Hamburg @ADFC_Hamburg @CriticalMassHamburg @VCDNord @MapComplete
About the legal distance: if you measure the street width, one can easily adjust the rendering to show different colours.
The openBikeSensor is cool, but quite unactionable data sadly.
Btw, the Belgian Cycling Association has a 'measurement bicyle' for cycling infrastructure: https://www.fietsersbond.be/meetfiets
