Crackdown coming on illegal dirt bikes in San Francisco
Briefly

San Francisco is experiencing a rise in illegal dirt bike activity, which is being reported as loud and dangerous by residents. District 3 Supervisor Danny Sauter plans to introduce new legislation to counter these takeovers, as local voices express growing concern for child safety and public order. Residents report that illegal dirt bikes often run through red lights and create hazards for pedestrians, especially in crowded areas like Chinatown. Local business owners are frustrated and have reported the issue frequently to the police, leading to calls for increased regulation and vehicle impounding to mitigate dangers.
'The problem is you have kids running across the street and these guys come zooming by like 40 miles an hour. What do you expect them to do? They're going to stop at the last minute.'
'Those dirt bikes don't follow the rules. They go through the red lights. They're nonstop and playing tricky on the streets.'
'We've been lucky that it hasn't been more dangerous because these can spiral out of control. We're seeing them come up under the sidewalks, come through parks and playgrounds.'
