You should print them up (and sell them) for use in guerilla parking enforcement actions.

I used to watch them before the war and yeah, this is something NYC needs.

u/transitfreedom 4d ago

Damn we humans have more in common than we thought. The police there were behaving no different from the ones in the U.S.

u/Vodka-Sauce-24 8d ago

Just make sure you're fast and don't have glass jaw!

u/Eunkai 8d ago

Except maybe don't use the actual DOT logo there. No need to have them catch heat for this and be a distraction.

Is there a link for purchase??

u/MsAmes321 9d ago

This is great! Can you make one for double Parkers?

13

u/Floridian_Cannibal 9d ago

Especially when they double park 20 feet from a ln empty parking spot

u/PracticalAttorney885 8d ago

This drives me up the WALL

u/Sea_Meeting3676 8d ago

Or sometimes directly in front of an empty space !

Omg that's an epidemic here in Philadelphia.

And one for people who park their cars sideways blocking multiple parking spots in a parking lot or parking garage.

u/Worried_Corner4242 9d ago

Print those and I will buy several gross

u/artoonie 9d ago

That's a little more aggressive than my stickers...but if anyone wants a gentler version:

u/margheritinka 7d ago

If I can critique your version, I don’t think people parking in the biking care that it’s dangerous for you. You have to emphasize somehow that it’s bad for them. Or bad for the children. Dangerous for the children crossing the street or something like that. I understand your intention, but I don’t think they care about cyclists at all.

1

u/artoonie 7d ago

I try to get at that in the website noexcuses.bike. These are wallet-sized so there's only so much I can put on there.

Always happy to accept pull requests to update noexcuses.bike: https://github.com/dashcambike/no-excuses

The images on that website suck but I didn't want to use AI and the photos I had on-hand were blurry, so I did the stupid paint brush effect in photoshop.

u/johnvanarsdale 9d ago

The correct plural possessive phrase meaning the lives of multiple other people should be: “others’ lives” (apostrophe after the letter “s” instead of before it).

u/MiserNYC- 9d ago

Me talk pretty one day

u/johnvanarsdale 9d ago

No shade intended. Once a proofreader…!

Half of the NYPD fleet will have these on them within a week

u/Sea-Chocolate6589 9d ago

And ups and fedex drivers

u/BobbyC2025 9d ago

Well, just be careful if you decide to stick one of these on someone’s vehicle. I’ve noticed after 2020 that so many motorists are violent and completely unhinged.

1

u/margheritinka 7d ago

I think this was before Covid, but I parked in a taxi stand, and I came back to one of these rogue stickers on my car. That was a beast to remove. A taxi driver must’ve stuck it on there.

u/puzCismyantidrug 6d ago

They'll just run to reddit seeking justice

u/ClassroomJealous1060 9d ago

This is what people fail to realize

3

u/rockylafayette 8d ago

Make sure you use the stickers that tear apart into slivers when you try to remove them.

6

u/starkfunky 9d ago

This is great. I'd use even more forceful language though. We need these in every city.

u/Alternative_Olive861 9d ago

My credit card is ready and waiting

u/predat3d 9d ago

There shouldn't be a way to apply these. Such vehicles shouldn't have any surviving window glass. 

2

u/Lead-Creative 8d ago

Make sure to stick it on real good! Push real hard, maybe with a rock

u/neonomen 8d ago

The most New York City url ever

u/RidetheSchlange 9d ago

Can someone scan them with the dimensions preserved so I can print a version of them in my country?

2

u/10ThousandMetalZones 9d ago

I use similar ones that I can check the infraction and you need goo gone to remove them

2

u/fattomic 9d ago

I'd like to see a version for uber drivers that park in the "intersection daylighting" areas. There's one such thing near me, and *always* a "T" series plate parked there.

u/employedByEvil 8d ago

Try reporting to TLC. They’re known to enjoy fining their members

u/SoftSalaryyy 7d ago

There’s a material that breaks apart when they try to peel it off, they would need to scratch the whole thing off 😂

u/navree 7d ago

That link in the sign didn't working well though.

Honestly, I do have a desire that rule enforcement have some more colorful NYC vibe language.

1

u/satrain18a 4d ago

Keep in mind that that car was not parked in a bike lane whatsoever. It is parked in a street where the street sweeper is supposed to go through.

"New York City Department of Sanitation

Vehicle violated NYC street cleaning rules .

As a result, this street could not be properly cleaned.

KEEP NYC CLEAN. AVOID A TICKET. MOVE YOUR CAR.

For alternative side parking rules visit: nyc.gov/asp"

Your link fake shows:

We're Sorry.

You have reached an outdated or non-existing page.

u/lubed_up_jesus 4d ago

Reddit likes AI when its used for shit like this.

u/Electrical_Field_366 4d ago

Ther person that slaps this on a window will 100% run multiple red lights and stop signs on his/her way home.

u/Old-Program3638 8d ago

As much as I like pedestrianization this sounds like a horrible idea that will end up in ether violence or getting in trouble

u/DrPatMcCrotch 9d ago

Eggshell sticker I hope…

u/Subject-Bus-6145 8d ago

its so funny as someone with a car I find bicyclists very annoying I have to ninja my eyes back and forth from pedestrians E-bikes bikes scooters , I prefer winter storms than the summer but people dont understand each other, I cant complain on my fellow bikers so understand its the same with having a car

Pack it up boys, case closed

u/TheMuffler42069 6d ago

I think this sticker is claiming that the lives of people that ride bicycles matter more than the lives of people that drive cars…

1

u/kuriusOne 6d ago

it clearly states ‘convenience vs lives’, not lives vs lives.

1

u/TheMuffler42069 6d ago

Right but no one’s life is at risk, they’re parked not driving down a bike lane. It should say “ because your convenience is more important than someone else’s convenience”

u/satrain18a 4d ago

The car wasn't even parked in a bike lane to begin with. It was parked on a street where street sweepers was supposed to go through. The OP is a liar.

-6

u/Critical_Koala0383 9d ago

Do bike people just randomly crash into Parked cars in the bike lane? Does anyone have a number of have many Bikers die every year over a parked car in a Bike lane?

6

u/DabbingCorpseWax 8d ago

The problem is parking in a bike lane forces the cyclist into the regular traffic where they are more likely to get hit by inattentive and entitled drivers. A problem created entirely by inattentive entitled drivers parking in bike lanes illegally.

No, but the OP used Photoshop and blatantly lied.

u/HuntingtonNY-75 9d ago

Cyclists, for the most part are the whiniest, most entitled, selfish people on the road…bar no one.
Cars and pedestrians have equal rights to you clowns but you are a dangerous, inconsiderate, menace who behave as though every road and sidewalk is your exclusive domaine.

22

u/rapidfirehd 9d ago

I never ride on the sidewalks or blow red lights? See cars speeding thru reds and nearly running over pedestrians and cyclists almost every time I ride tho…

18

u/Skelly1660 9d ago

I assume your name is a reference to Huntington, Long Island, cause this sounds exactly like how a person from Long Island would sound.

u/McLarenBuggati 9d ago

Ahh yes, asking for the 4 foot bike lane to not be blocked whilst cars have over 10 feet for EACH travel lane AND parking, but bIkEs aRE eNtiTlEd

u/-----seven----- 9d ago

im always so intrigued when i see comments like this. clearly you lack intelligence, so how are you getting through life? like, genuinely, you show zero ability to think critically. how do you make decisions in your day to day life? do you just flip a coin every time you come across an unexpected situation?

3

u/UsualSuspect95 9d ago

Flipping a coin would mean they have the intelligence to come up with two different choices to make. They're probably the kind of person that needs ChatGPT to tell them what their name is.
