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?
