its not about making people adapt, understand, & be informed. Society needs to be left no other easy option. If a driver has no bollard to prevent parking across the bike lane, they will just park across the bike lane.
You are correct in your line of thought. Now all we need to do is change the thinking of the people implementing these changes. After many years of intentionally making it mostly imposable for the motorists in the Netherlands to drive or park in bicycle facility's, the motorists are so accustomed to bicyclists that they are removing some of the bicycle infrastructure in downtown areas and letting everybody mingle together. Because people are accustomed to bicyclists being there and agree with it, they get along with very little ill effect. One big difference between the US and some of the European countries is they are totally focused on prevention of car bike collisions to the point of making changes and spending the money to implement changes instead of victim blaming.
