It took a few weeks to get used to. But people got used to it before the flexposts, but the flexposts really helped too. (But we do have a brief problem during move-in every year, but that's almost over for another year.)
Oh ye of little faith in humanity.
p.s. We also have snow, and humanity still gets it right. And there are no flexposts in the winter.

Hey, long time no see! Good to see you're starting to ride again.
I can't tell from the picture, but are there signs there in addition to the flexposts? What I found surprising about the Dayton setup was that they really don't seem to have put up any signs about where the parking is now, just relied on people figuring out the painted boxes in the street.
I have faith in humanity's ability to learn the new arrangement, but you do have to put at least some effort into teaching it to them. Nothing above the surface of the road is just not enough notice.
