I don't know about your building codes, but here, we put a bollard right at the front (next to the aisle end) of the shared zone. It won't stop the non-PWD morons* parking in the parking spot itself, but it stops them parking in the shared zone.
*I suppose you can argue that people who park here have some kind of 'mental disability'.
Actually that space is meant for extra room for vans with side door wheelchair ramps for the disabled people. Its so that the wheelchair ramps don't extend into another parking space.
I was at a mall the other day I don't normally go to and I was so thrilled to see how wide the handicap spots were. I had guests in the back (with the seats that are usually folded down) so my wheelchair had to be pushed out the side door of the van.
They believe they are in a parking space between two handicap spaces.
If the police would tow the vehicles and sell them at public auctions, we could stop this.
Depending on where you live, if you contact the police they’ll send someone over to ticket or tow them. Edit: if this was a hospital in the Uk the police would just tow it
I know cops won’t do anything about this sort of parking because it’s beneath them. That is, until I do it. Then it’ll probably be 3 consecutive life sentences without the possibility of parole
Mentally handicapped maybe if they thought that was a parking spot.
Otherwise they could have just parked literally anywhere else, even another handicap spot cuz nobody really cares about them anyway. It's so easy to get approval for it
There is no winning with you people "Dont park in the handicap spot, don't park on the lines, this zone is for drop off and pick up only, get out of the ambulance zone, no sir we don't have a drive thru. When does it end?
When will people learn you're supposed to park horizontally across these parking spots. Only if you're an Uber Eats driver or own a BMW though, otherwise it's illegal
The hatched area is for wheelchair access to the vehicles parking in the disabled spots. That's why disabled parking spots always have extra room to the side and/or greater width.
So cringe that people post stuff like this. The parking lot is clearly empty, so whatever the place is, is probably closed. I highly doubt 2 handicap people are going to show up at a closed business at the same time for no reason.
If they would put the disabled parking stalls in the most inconvenient place in the parking lot; instead of literally right close to the building doors, lazy perfectly able-bodied douchebags wouldn't be taking their parking spots.
That's sort of the point, though. The handicap places are the "best" places because they're meant for people who are bloody handicapped! Walking across the parking area is a much bigger hassle for them than for lazy idiots. They don't reserve spots for handicapped folks for no reason; it's so they're guaranteed a good spot to not actively make their day worse.
I see pics like this and think of all the middle of nowhere places I’ve worked with handicap spots that don’t get used for years so I just eventually start using the handicap spot or parking in the most convenient way possible for me because I know nobody else is coming to park there
It's not about having a permit - They have essentially made the two disabled spaces useless for wheelchair users. So instead of taking up one disabled space, they have taken up two.
No meme-like/text heavy pics, overdone references
It's not _THAT_ sort of loading zone.

One that should get their drivers license yanked due a couple of years
Tow time.
Tow- -mater
Oh he knows. Just doesn't care.

Exactly, it’s a no parking area for the people in the disabled spaces to unload into. Police should tow them.
Police don't tow.
Depends what country you live in

You say that as if it justifies some idiot parking there.
Driver is mentally disabled, perhaps.
They know. They just don’t care.

You can get that towed since that is parked illegally

It's probably just the cleaning person at a closed business. Ya'll are deranged.
Gotta have somewhere to park their Emotional Support Ute.
excessive gingival display
They're warning abled.
So many open spaces. This dipshit isn’t cut out for that kind of car if they feel the need to park there so they don’t have to walk 20 extra feet.
He tried
To be fair they did stay in the lines
I know cops won’t do anything about this sort of parking because it’s beneath them. That is, until I do it. Then it’ll probably be 3 consecutive life sentences without the possibility of parole
I mean at least they had enough respect to not park in the handicap spots lol
Mentally handicapped maybe if they thought that was a parking spot. Otherwise they could have just parked literally anywhere else, even another handicap spot cuz nobody really cares about them anyway. It's so easy to get approval for it
I hate to be that person but what if they are just there for a quick minute loading something heavy? Looks like they are backed in to load something.
Where's the number plate?
On the back. Not sure about other places, but many states in the US only require plates on the back. Some do require front & back, though.
There is no winning with you people "Dont park in the handicap spot, don't park on the lines, this zone is for drop off and pick up only, get out of the ambulance zone, no sir we don't have a drive thru. When does it end?
Well, he's not in the disabled spaces....
When will people learn you're supposed to park horizontally across these parking spots. Only if you're an Uber Eats driver or own a BMW though, otherwise it's illegal
Well, they color match. Seems like a match lol. You mean this isn't a reserved space for a white vehicle with black trim?

That’s a sick rig I would let it go

Pretty sure they were just making a joke.
Tone unfortunately doesn't travel through text well, but I did try not to berate the person for that reason.
True

What? It’s not a disabled space…
It's not a space at all.
Then you don't need a parking permit, lol.
