Illegal Stopping is significant for minimizing traffic accidents (0.00), ensuring the safety of pedestrians (0.03), and decreasing noise pollution brought by modified mufflers (0.03). Mufflers are significant to increasing numbers of documented vehicles (0.03). The Prohibited Zone is significant in increasing the number of documented vehicles (0.03). Obstruction is significant in decreasing noise pollution brought by modified mufflers (0.04). Hitching is significant for ensuring the safety of pedestrians (0.01), increasing the number of licensed drivers (0.01), and promoting discipline to motorists (0.03).
