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