Research Points
The SMV emblem effectively catches generic attention but fails to communicate meaning, depth perception, buggy width, etc.
By emphasizing the buggy’s center, the SMV frustrates the motorist’s need to calculate buggy width to safely pass
Reflective perimeter tape provides superior information about approaching time and width required to pass the buggy
Case demonstrates ways group-based logics limit diffusion of top-down safety regulations, a framework for motorist recognition of objects and response, and minute rationales weighing religious free exercise vs. compelling state interests
