@notjustbikes Just had a thought. Self-driving car software like Tesla's recognize speed limit signs via the car's camera array and adjust their speeds accordingly (+10 KM/H because hey laws are just a suggestion, right?).

Alternatively print a large orange construction cone on the back since a car is unlikely to give a cyclist space but they are scared of cones.

Ford Nation’s war on cyclists

Former Toronto Mayor Rob Ford had a clear disdain for cyclists and his brother, Ontario Premier Doug Ford seems to want to carry that legacy.

Last repost: the city of Amsterdam has asked renowned graphic designer Karel Martens to come up with a pattern to paint on streets with a 30km/h speed limit so they would visually appear smaller and thus reduce speed.
