New York Bicycling Coalition designed a semi transparent window decal for cars, trucks, taxis, ride share vehicles to educate and prompt drivers & passengers to use the far hand Dutch Reach method or maneuver to prevent dooring crashes with bicyclists or other on-coming traffic when they exit parallel to travel lanes & bike lanes. A box of text explaining the maneuver accompanies this image of a human figure reaching for the door latch, & pivoting to look over shoulder look back & scan for cyclists. An adjacent image shows an bicyclist approaching & now can be seen by the driver or passenger.

NYBC window decal shows Dutch Reach safe exit habit for drivers & passengers. Accompanying text describes far hand method & advantages.
