Anagrams: IUFTR (fruit) ANBIT, DATGI, OEWRP (power)

3 Key Findings

Participants viewing the vegetation view took more time to solve their anagrams than those viewing the concrete videos

No significance evidence about any effect on the anger results

Parkway design and roadside vegetation appear to have restorative effects.

Limitations

Participants were not maintaining active engagement like a real driver would

2. The findings may not apply to actual drivers in heavier traffic
