YOU HAVE PARKED IN A BIKE LANE

Your action is hazardous to bicyclists, other motorists,
and your vehicle.  You are forcing cyclists to swerve into
traffic where they may be struck or killed by an inattentive
or aggressive driver.  Motorists trying to avoid them may
strike other automobiles, cyclists, or pedestrians.
They could even hit your car.

You're also making life more difficult for yourself by
inducing more people to travel by car, bus, or taxi, rather
than by bike.  This increases the traffic congestion that
you must face.  Eight to 15 bikes can travel in the space
of one car or SUV.

Here's how you can help avoid traffic injuries and
fatalities, and reduce congestion and delays:

Don't park in the bike lane.

DON'T EVEN THINK ABOUT PARKING HERE

["Nicer" Version]

YOUR VEHICLE IS PARKED IN A BIKE LANE

Your action/inaction is hazardous both to
bicyclists and to your vehicle.

Riders are forced to swerve into traffic to
avoid crashing into your vehicle --
if they see it in time.

Parking your vehicle in the bike lane
makes this alternative mode of transportation
dangerous, discouraging its use and encouraging
more people to drive.  It thereby increases the
traffic congestion you must deal with every day.

Please help avoid traffic injuries or
fatalities, as well as damage to your car.

Please park in a legal parking space or parking lot.
