In a couple months they'll get over it. Yes, they've been told specifically that now that the kids are back in school they need to be more careful. and apparently cyclists are pedestrians too.
I haven't seen any change, it's still really hard for somebody driving me to get people to see them, much less a bike.
Mind you that I live at a state border and next to an interstate.
