Handicapped parking refers to designated parking spaces reserved for individuals with disabilities. These spaces are typically located close to building entrances to provide easier access. They are marked with the International Symbol of Access, which is a blue and white sign featuring a wheelchair icon. To use a handicapped parking space, a vehicle must display a valid handicapped parking permit or license plate. These permits are issued to individuals with qualifying disabilities, ensuring that they have the necessary accommodations when accessing public facilities. Proper use of these spaces helps promote accessibility and inclusivity in the community.
