Sometime back there was discussion regarding the perception of automobile
drivers of objects in the roadway, with some research indicating that motorists
subconsciouly are looking for width as an identifier, meaning that bicycles,
which are narrow and tall are at a disadvantage, no matter how many rear
flashers or bright clothes worn.
Does anyone remember this? I have searched the archives through the Google
groups search engine, to no avail. Don't even know the proper search terms -
have tried "width," "perception," etc., with no luck. I would like to read the
research.
Thanks
