In/on what sort of vehicle does the operator most frequently ignore
one-way working, plus red traffic lights, pedestrian-only status
of a facility, etc?

Motor vehicle.


Please Sir : my dad says that that is incorrect: can you try again:
or perhaps provide some evidence if you're sure that you are right.
It would be bad form for an (ex) teacher to be giving out duff gen.


1. Motor vehicle operators frequently ignore red traffic lights:
between 50% and 66% of them who have the opportunity to do so, do.
2. Motor vehicle operators frequently ignore pedestrian only footways
by driving onto and parking on them.
3. Motor vehicle operators frequently ignore speed limits.

The only one of the list which motor vehicle operators do infrequently
is ignore one-way working. However, as I am sure we can all agree, it
does happen.


It is very rare that car drivers ignore one way streets, some accidentally
go up them the wrong way, but cyclists do it quite deliberately.


It is very rare that cyclists ignore bike boxes, some accidentally
stop outside the box, but motorists enter them quite deliberately.
