The problem is now safety, noise, and undercounted evidence.
On 16 June 2026, a resident witnessed a Checkers Sixty60 delivery rider go through a stop street without slowing enough. Another vehicle, which appeared to be slowing for the same stop-street area, had to brake hard to avoid the rider. The incident was not captured by the resident detection system, because the rider passed too quickly for the camera trigger to record it reliably.
- Residents are seeing more stop-street passes where riders do not slow enough.
- A near miss was witnessed on 16 June 2026.
- The incident was not captured by detection.
- This means published detection counts should be treated as conservative, not complete.

Privacy note: no rider, driver, vehicle registration, exact street name, or identifying footage is published here. The purpose is to document a safety-relevant pattern and an evidence limitation, not to identify private individuals.
Earlier today, a resident witnessed another serious example of the way Checkers Sixty60 delivery bikes are moving through the affected residential route.
A Checkers Sixty60 delivery rider went through the stop street without slowing enough. At the same time, another vehicle was approaching and appeared to be slowing for the stop-street area. That vehicle had to brake hard to avoid hitting the rider.
This was a near miss. It should not be treated as a minor detail in a noise complaint.
This is not only about noise
The original public campaign focuses on repeated delivery-bike noise because that is the daily harm residents are living with inside their homes. But the same route pattern also creates a safety issue when riders use a residential street as a shortcut and move through stop streets without slowing properly.
Residents have raised stop-street behaviour before. The concern is now becoming more serious because these faster passes are also harder to document automatically.
When a delivery rider goes through a stop street at speed, residents get the noise, other road users get the risk, and the camera system may miss the pass entirely.
The incident was not captured
The resident detection system did not capture this near miss.
That matters. The detection setup is already described publicly as conservative and imperfect. It is useful for showing scale, but it does not capture every delivery-bike pass. Fast stop-street passes are one of the clearest reasons why.
If riders slow down near the stop street, the camera has a better chance of detecting and recording the pass. If they go through too quickly, the system can miss them. That means the published numbers are not exaggerating the problem. If anything, they are likely lower than reality.
Undercounting makes the current situation worse
This changes how the evidence should be read.
When residents publish a pass count, that count should not be interpreted as the full burden. It should be read as the documented lower bound from a system that can miss fast passes, low-light passes, and some behaviour around the stop street.
That is especially serious after residents were told on 10 June 2026 that drivers had been instructed to use main routes. If the visible and detected activity has not reduced, while some fast passes are not being detected at all, then the real level of shortcut use may be worse than the public numbers show.
Checkers needs to treat this as enforceable behaviour
This should not be left to residents to infer from missed detections and near misses.
If Checkers Sixty60 and its delivery partners can monitor rider routes and behaviour, then stop-street compliance, shortcut use, and repeated residential routing should be measurable and enforceable. If they cannot monitor it, then public reassurances about driver management are not enough.
The practical ask remains direct:
- Stop using the affected residential street as a through-route unless a delivery is actually on that street.
- Enforce stop-street compliance and safe riding behaviour.
- Use available route and rider data to identify repeated shortcut use.
- Recognise that resident detection counts are conservative when fast passes are missed.
- Report back with measurable change, not another informal assurance.
Residents are documenting this because private escalation has not produced relief. The noise continues, the shortcut use continues, and now even the evidence system is showing why the real scale may be worse than the numbers already published.
