Thank-you for parking thoughtfully next time! - A polite alternative to YPLAC

I agree with that, and have already made the request of the person who created them. These were created for use with people blocking pedestriam drop kerbs (ie mainly with tactile paving ... hence the pics on the artwork), and cycles are often not technically allowed to use those - unless, as you say, it is a shared pavement.

I've requested a standard cycle and tricycle to be included in a version.

If they come back soon (I have said 'when time is available') I'll post them here.

That's a great idea. Thanks.

I agree. This won't fix your Lancashire Police issue, and it's not designed to do so. The Lancs Police thing is about institutional culture, and that requires a change of the organisation from strategic, perhaps even organisational DNA, level.

For Lincs that will most likely require a national policy level intervention, and the best vehicle I can see at present is a possible Road Safety Review under the next Govt, *if* we get that done, and then get it right.

I would make a similar argument about car-brain culture in LHAs. 

I divide drivers into about 5 groups, with overlaps. 1) Criminal, 2) Dangerous / Reckless / Indifferent,  3) Ignorant / complacent / careless,  4) Competent / engaged, 5) Thoughtful / wanting to improve. Choose your % for each group - I suggest ~80% are in Group 3 aka "the average driver" !

I suggest that the issue you address is mainly Groups 1 and 2, and these cards are aimed at 3 and 4 - those of whom some may persuaded. For such, I think a softer approach may be more appropriate - a different tool for a different group.

There is also that disabled or more frail people who may be using these cannot get on their cycle and get away easily, and many are used to past harrassment whether by the public or eg Council Officers. 

For a comparison, we broke the back of drink driving from 1980 to 2010 (85% fall in fatalities) by combination of law enforcement, and education making it socially unacceptable.

This is about chipping away at the culture of ASB parking being acceptable for my Groups 3 and 4.

The other needs addressing, but that needs Operation Parksafe / PSPO / Police willing to enforce, or more fundamental measures that will then drive these.

Do you now?
