Connecticut Handicapped Parking Sign Law

by Ryan McKeen

I saw this sign as I was walking to my car yesterday…

IMAG0084

…and I thought “a blog post” and “possibly multiple blog posts!”

The sign lets a person know that if he parks in that spot without a permit he will be fined at least $116.

Here’s why the sign says that:

Such spaces shall be designated by above grade signs with white lettering against a blue background and shall bear the words “handicapped parking permit required” and “violators will be fined”. Such sign shall also bear the international symbol of access. When such a sign is replaced, repaired or erected it shall indicate the minimum fine for a violation of subsection (f) of this section. Such indicator may be in the form of a notice affixed to such a sign. Conn. Gen. Stat. Section 14-253a(h).

Nice to know that my gym complies with Connecticut’s handicapped parking sign statute.

    Ryan, I hate to quibble, but I just have to. The sign lets a person know that if said person parks in that spot without a permit, said person will face a MINIMUM fine in the amount of $116.

    But how do you get the police to enfore the law. I am having problems with people parking on the handicap access aisle and blocking in my ramped van. Any suggestions? Is there a specific CT MV law which covers this?

    Question:I have a handicap parking space and the guy who plows the snow keeps blocking me ,even though he sees the sign on my windshield .I’ve been tolerant but thought about calling the local police .Will they be able to correct this problem ? is he in violation for blocking me continously?
