Such exact signs are posted on the back of bike lane signs on a parallel street.
I don't see the wrong way riding on this (not the parallel street) to be that big a deal really, main 'problem' during pleasant days/weekends are cyclist turning weaving across street in a casual riding style, friends seeing each other and turning around, groups of kids recreating on bikes up and down the street, students riding on and off sidewalk in both directions. A causal atmosphere indicative of the existing lack of fear of fast dense cars. This atmosphere perhaps is not so loose during rush hour, but thats mainly cause the cyclist riding at that time are going places.
