Respete la Ciclovía
A play on Mexico’s infamous passive-aggressive “No Parking” signs, I wanted to make signs to remind us to imagine better cities into being. We’re living in someone else’s imagination that tells us cars are king and streets are for storing huge hunks of metal, when we could use that space for parks or playgrounds or big wide sidewalks. Translated, the signs read “Respect the bike lane and I’ll respect your car — Our city is an ecosystem in which we all must coexist,” a play on “Respect my driveway and I’ll respect your car.” I also made sticker packs of the same design, for bikers to slap on cars parked in the bike lanes. A little aggression outlet to send the message that the city is for everyone and we deserve to take up our own space.
