#35: Give Cyclists Space
This is an important message, and the intention behind it is great, but the execution – not as much. This ironic sign reminds the drivers to allow enough space for cyclists, but while doing so, it takes up all the space in their designated lane. This is an unfortunate spot for this sign; whoever put it there did a lousy job.

Ironically, this misplaced sign forces the poor cyclists to leave their lane and step on the road just to avoid hitting it. Cycling is a great form of transportation—it’s environment-friendly, cheaper than a car and great for exercise. However, instead of encouraging the cyclists, this sign makes life much harder for them.
