Political campaigns make use of yard signs because it is comparatively less expensive than other means and has been found to be effective. Bike shops & dealers may want to help with printing. Most riders would post these in their yards and some may want to help fund them as well as help with distribution.

2004 incident near Beaumont, TX ...
Riding north out of Beaumont, TX. yesterday (2-28-04) on US 69 / 96 / 287, I was absolutely amazed to see the big lighted hwy sign (one used for the Amber Alert) to have written on it, "SHARE THE ROAD BE AWARE OF MOTORCYCLES." The instant I went past the sign the vehicles that had been chasing my rear fender dropped back to a safe distance. -Joker, Nomad Reporter, Skunk Dots Biker News
