Would you support signage and publicity that said "Bicyclists: Never
ride more than three feet from a parked car!" ?

I would support warning that riding within 3 feet of a parked car can be
dangerous. I would also support warning motorists to take care when
opening a door on the street side.

The word "never" would bother me. I would prefer to let the cyclist
weigh the dangers.

Do you understand that you're talking about the opposite of those
signs I proposed? And, of course, the opposite of what most door-zone
bike lanes tell cyclists?

I am opposed to the word "never."

WRT door zone bike lanes, if you don't like door zone bike lanes,
campaign against them. That's what I would do if I found one around
here. I'd leave out the "white stripe" hyperbole though.
