Since last year, a group of academics at Gordon College, a small Christian institution in eastern Massachusetts, led by Brian Glenney (shown in video above) have been promoting a more active handicap symbol to replace the helpless-looking symbol we see everyday. This story covers how this effort might soon get a big boost as the New York mayor’s Office for People With Disabilities “plans this summer to begin putting the new logo all over the nation’s largest city,” and a variation of the symbol — with arm stretched out, hailing — will be used on a new line of taxis designed to accommodate people with disabilities.

Whats the point though? Never saw it as helpless, especially when it has a 4x4 Silverado legally parked in it.

Alternatively, we could use this:
and encourage people to run full speed into the bathroom door, with no regard to the people who may be on the other side of that door.
