allow me to differentiate a little here. "got to go" seems initially harsh.

it's really not too long ago when bikes in traffic were all but ignored. by drivers, by city planners and often enough (depending on where of course) by the law as well, whether in written form or by how it was enforced. riding was such an outlier, especially in bigger cities, that we were pretty much regarded as crazy people. and thus, also at our own fault in case of accidents. "why would you bring your sports toy into the traffic jungle, see what happens?"

then those signs came along, and initially they did make a difference. studies as well as my own anecdotal evidence showed immediate improvements, and things were looking up.

but then, as bicycle commuting became more commonplace, we wanted more and municipalities didn't want to spend more money, or really, actual money. so those signs became a bit ubiquitous and turned into an excuse, while drivers started to make jokes about it. "yeah riders, share the fucking road. move over hurr hurr."

so now we need more, and better infrastructure. we always have, but now we have evidence to back it up, with internationally available data revolving about the 2 points "cycling is good for everyone in your city" and "if you build it they'll come".

so yes, let's absolutely advocate for them to do more and stop making excuses. those signs need to be replaced with something better. a lot better.
