Held Until Contested

A Taxonomy of Kerbside Parking-Space Claim-Objects and How Long Each Goes Unchallenged

A research poster from the School of Emergent Priorities catalogues 341 informal parking-space claim-objects --- cones, kitchen chairs, wheelie bins, and staked ropes --- across 64 verge segments in 11 suburbs, finding survival time to first contest ranges from a four-day median for cones to a nineteen-day median for staked-rope claims.
