These signs have been a shameful sight on many of Winnipeg's finest streets for several decades. Originally erected to placate impatient neighbourhood motorists during the Sunday road closures, they stand as a daily reminder of just who is the real boss in this town. It is time to at least replace these spiteful signs with "Share the Road" signs, which are currently the preferred (and standard) way to gently remind people that motorists and cyclists both have rights and responsibilities on the road.
Wow, that's unbelievable!
ReplyDeleteThese signs are insulting to cyclist. Any cyclist in Winnipeg is fully aware that cars have the right to use the road. They bully cyclists into the margins every day. It's almost like there's an imagined problem of too many bicycles making it hard for cars to actually use the road... which i have never observed in my life.
ReplyDeleteIt's grating every time i see these signs.
These signs are uncivilized. They need to be replaced with normal "Share the road" signs.
ReplyDeleteThe Winnipeg Review gives these signs the first Kafka Award:
