80% of NYC's bike tickets are issued on fewer than 1% of its blocks. Know when you're on a ticket-heavy block!
Get a live-updated WANTED LEVEL showing the enforcement activity for the block you're on, out of six stars. Your Wanted Level comes from official NYPD data on red-light and traffic-device tickets written to people on bikes, e-bikes, and even skateboards. It's adjusted for the hour of the week, because ticketing activity changes throughout the day.
A red light ticket on a bike costs $190, and the fine escalates if it isn't your first ticket.
One star means someone has been ticketed nearby. Six stars is reserved for the worst blocks in the city at their worst hours.
WHILE YOU RIDE
Your Wanted Level rides along in the Dynamic Island, above whatever app you are in, and updates as you move.
LOOK AROUND
Drag the map to see any block, pick a day and time to see how enforcement changes through the week, and see the ticketing hotspots near you and across the city.
WHERE IT WORKS
Wanted Level starts with New York City, using the summons records published on NYC Open Data (https://data.cityofnewyork.us/d/bme5-7ty4). More cities are planned.
PRIVATE BY DESIGN
No accounts, no ads, no analytics. Your location is used on your phone and never leaves it.
Wanted Level is independent. It is not affiliated with, endorsed by or connected to the NYPD, the City of New York or any government agency. It shows where summonses have been issued in the past, not where police are now, and is not legal advice.
