Common Misunderstandings of 🚖

Confusing it with a parked taxi

While it's a taxi, the front-facing view implies movement or approach, not a stationary vehicle.

Tip: If you mean a parked taxi, consider using 🚕 (taxi) with context, or specify "parked taxi."

Overlooking the "oncoming" aspect

Some might just see it as a generic taxi, missing the nuance of it being an approaching vehicle.

Tip: If the direction of movement is important, emphasize it with text, e.g., "A 🚖 is coming this way."
