When was the last time you saw a moped on a sidewalk? When was the last time you saw someone on a bike/moped/etc run without even stopping a red light or stop sign? When was the last time you saw people riding full speed in a place where people have to walk their equipment? When was the last time you saw a pedestrian jaywalk? A car speed past a light that's turning red?
If you said more than a week, you probably don't live in New York. These guys already know that what they're doing is wrong. While signage always helps, people will do whatever the hell they want if they believe it's expedient. Why? Because there are seldom any consequences and our civic spirit is rather low.
