We did a test market for our campaign and found that the Yellow Warning sign with Bicycles Allowed Use Of Full Lane. Change Lanes to Pass, was easier to see, easier to understand and looked more authoritative/ official and was directed more to drivers as opposed to the regulatory sign. It was almost as if the regulatory sign was taken as not too serious. Sort of like a 30 MPH sign where everyone does 40MPH and it's the norm. Many drivers think that they have priority and a sign that implies "maybe" also implies to that type of driver that when a cyclist is in the road then "maybe" they really should be taught a lesson as to when they may take the lane. Thanks. Thanks for your article. We did a test market for our campaign and found that the Yellow Warning sign with Bicycles Allowed Use Of Full Lane.
