A new symbol is showing up on some parking spaces!Check Comments

## 🤔 Why Many People Misunderstand It

Despite its good intentions, the handshake symbol often causes confusion.

Common misconceptions include:

* Thinking it’s just decorative

* Assuming it’s the same as accessible parking

* Believing it has no specific meaning

This confusion usually comes down to one issue: **lack of public awareness**.

Unlike the wheelchair symbol, which is globally standardized, the handshake symbol is still emerging. Its meaning can vary slightly depending on location, which adds to the uncertainty.

That’s why education matters.
