§ 31-26A. Parking spaces reserved for handicapped individuals.

Latest version.

(a) Application and interpretation of this section. This section applies to all parking facilities that are open for use by members of the general public. The requirements in this section are in addition to, not instead of, any other federal, State, or local law regarding parking spaces reserved for handicapped individuals.
(b) How to tell when a parking space is reserved for handicapped individuals. A parking space is reserved for handicapped individuals if it is designated by an official sign.
(c) When a person may park a vehicle in a space that is reserved for handicapped individuals. An individual must not park a vehicle in a space reserved for handicapped individuals unless:
(1) an individual who will be getting into or out of the vehicle is handicapped; and
(2) a special state registration plate for handicapped individuals or a disabled person's parking permit is displayed on or in the vehicle.
(d) Obstructing a space reserved for handicapped individuals. A person who is responsible under Section 49-24A(a) for removing snow and ice from a parking area must not at any time obstruct, or allow another person to obstruct, any space in the parking area that is reserved for handicapped individuals. This subsection applies to any type of obstruction, other than a legally parked vehicle, such as plowed snow or ice, construction materials, or an illegally parked vehicle owned or controlled by the person. A natural accumulation of snow or ice in a parking area reserved for handicapped individuals is not an "obstruction" under this subsection, but must be removed when and as required by Section 49A-24A. (1986 L.M.C., ch. 22, § 2; , § 2.)
