yes
Yes - if you're not displaying a handicapped placard.
the fine is aproximatly $2,000 why were you in a handicapped parking spot? if you are a repeat offender the fine is something like $10,000
The disabled badge holder is used for notifying others that a certain individual is handicapped. This can be used for parking in handicapped parking spots and for benefiting the handicapped.
Not enough information is given as to the type of permit being referred to. If you are referring to a handicapped parking permit - SOME local jurisdictions allow it - MANY do not. Check with your local police department.
Review Texas law about handicapped access to condominiums. Your association may be obligated to provide handicap access, but it may not be required to make the parking spaces available at exactly the place you want them. It's a good idea for you -- assuming that you are a handicapped owner -- to work this out with your board of directors.
No.
A handicapped parking sign is a regulatory sign that indicates a specific parking space is reserved for individuals with disabilities. It serves to inform drivers of legal requirements regarding parking in that area. These signs are often marked with the international symbol of accessibility and are typically enforced by law. Violating this regulation can result in fines or penalties.
If you are not handicapped, do not park there. If you are handicapped, you must have a decal on your license plate or a permit hanging from your mirror.
ha-ha :) I never thought about that. Maybe some non-handicapped people got mad because the handicapped have the "good" parking spots so they wanted "good" locations for the cart returns. I think they should have a cart return beside each handicapped parking spots and then the rest wherever they please between all of the other parking spaces. (Why would someone get mad over not having a "good" parking spot? so instead of walking a short distance further they steal a handicapped parking space? I don't know, we live in such an odd community.)
Any business that provides public parking is required to provide handicapped parking.
Definitely yes. In many cases (such as the building I live in) the residents have to pay a monthly or yearly parking fee to the landlord or owner. Some of them may be designated handicapped parking spaces. A guest has no right to occupy the residents' paid-for parking spots. A private residential parking lot is private property, and the landlord or owner has the right to restrict parking as they see fit. A guest, even with a handicapped placard, runs the risk of having their car towed away if they park in a space reserved for residents.
Sorry, but there is nothing to fight. The only legitimate reason to park in a handicapped designated parking place is that you, or one of the passengers at that time, is handicapped and the vehicle was displaying a handicapped parking permit. "Was the vehicle parked in a handicapped spot?" is a yes or no question. "Did the vehicle display a properly authorized handicapped permit?" is a yes or no question. If the first answer is yes, and the second answer is no, there is nothing to argue, quilty as charged. If the answers are different, then you can fight the ticket.
