A Population Survey of Vehicle Misidentification at the Bus Stop, Car Park, and School-Run Kerb
A paper from the School of Emergent Priorities surveys 412 caregivers, commuters, and drivers on how often they wave at, approach, or step toward a vehicle that is not theirs while waiting at the bus stop, the car park, and the school-run kerb, and reports Facilities' decision to require an identification placard at every high-incidence site despite a parallel pilot finding no effect on the reported rate.
