Consultation on bi-lingual traffic signs ends this Friday on 30 June. If you would like to make a submission, you can do so by either writing to rules@nzta.govt.nz or doing the online survey (see the link below). Here is the Google doc with some suggested responses and all the links you need. Let's not let the racists win this one.

@DrTCombs Good question! And likewise re: "turning vehicles yield to bicycles," like this sign on East Market Street, Salinas. You might contact Andrew Easterling or others at City of Salinas (contact info here: https://bikemonterey.org/advocate-for-active-transportation-bicycling-and-more-in-salinas-and-elsewhere-in-monterey-county.html) and ask if they have any stats on that.

City of Monterey has similar signs, e.g., "Begin right turn lane, yield to bikes" at the Camino Aguajito and Fremont intersection. (See a photo of that one in our "Tips for commercial drivers and people who bike" post: https://bikemonterey.org/truck-bus-bicycle.html.)
