That flashing sign has the same meaning as a sign that says "Cyclists may use full lane" and the old "Share the Road" signs. They are all reminders to motorists to perform their duties, obey the law and don't hit things or people who are in front of them. Rather than place millions of extra signs all across America, perhaps we should just do a better job of requiring motorists to know and understand the vehicle code.
Of course, with over half of all licensed drivers in California failing the knowledge test when required to take it for renewal, my suggestion is clearly a pretty tall order.
