Sounds pretty in-your-face passive-aggressive to me.



I would think 'in-your-face' and 'passive-aggressive' are mutually
exclusive.

Kantor (1992, p. 177) notes that the term passive-aggressive clearly
describes a discrete behavior



Any kind of behavior can be in-your-face, if you do it where your target
can't help but notice. I personally think, "non-confrontational" and
"traffic calming" is much more of a mutual exclusion.


Quotation marks around "traffic calming" duly noted. ;-)
