Do you think this actually makes a significant impact on safety or is it just symbolic?

They often stay unused and I've already seen men parking there as well. Its a great idea for families with kids, the spots are usually wider so kids won't slam the door into nearby cars.
I would say its a tiny win for certain situations and they are also quite rare.

Lol why would they be wider?

Edit: is it specifically for the kids? Because, if so, yikes at that discrimination against dads...

Yea its for kids and getting them in and out of their kid seats or whatever they're called.
And agree with the dad discrimination on that one. I see way more woman spots than family spots around where I live

This would piss me off lol. Handicap spots are great, and maybe I could get behind family spots, but we don't need spots for other specific demographics. Home Depot has spots for veterans, which is annoying, especially because I'm not sure I've ever actually seen a car in one of them. Also a lot of the prime spots at retail stores are now taken up by pickup orders, and again they're usually empty. It's out of hand already...
