abstract="Study Objectives: The present study examined effects of a vertical sign (feedback poster) and marks on the ground (colored tape) on deterrence of illegal parking of bicycles and motorcycles. Design: ABCAABCA design with 8 phases: Baseline 1, intervention 1 (vertical sign only), intervention 2a (vertical sign plus tape on the ground), baseline 2, baseline 3, intervention 3 (only tape on the ground), intervention 2b (tape on the ground plus the vertical sign), and baseline 4. Setting: Sidewalk near a university campus. Participants: People parked illegally. Intervention: A vertical sign (feedback poster) and marks on the ground (colored tape). Measure: Number of illegally parked bicycles and motorcycles. Results: The number of illegally parked bicycles and motorcycles was reduced by a combination of the vertical sign and the tape on the ground. Conclusion: Feedback to illegal parkers and colored tape on the ground was effective for deterring illegal parking. However, more effective methods and effects of large scale interventions should be investigated.<p />",
