accessible parking spaces
Accessible parking spaces are specially designated parking spots that provide easier access for individuals with disabilities. These spaces are typically wider than standard parking spots, allowing for easier entry and exit from vehicles, especially for those using mobility aids like wheelchairs or walkers. They are usually located close to building entrances to minimize the distance that individuals need to travel.
To use an accessible parking space, a vehicle must display a valid disability parking permit or license plate. These permits are issued to individuals with qualifying disabilities, ensuring that accessible spaces are reserved for those who need them most. Proper use of these spaces helps promote inclusivity and accessibility in public areas.
