[sustran] Re: Best Practice: Fun Poked at Drivers Parking Illegally ?

(ccing sustran in case you're interested in the followup)

No, that was different. The mime stuff was done by Mockus (1995-1997) 
and it was mimes and people dressed as zebras standing on the pedestrian 
crossings where cars would stop neglecting them. He restored respect to 
pedestrian crossings that way.... maybe it's that? There were related 
measures as well....
