Accessible parking space
A bay reserved for people with a disability placard or plate.
An accessible parking space is a wider bay, usually with an adjacent access aisle, reserved for vehicles displaying a disability placard or registration plate. The number required, their dimensions and their signage are set by law rather than by the property.
They are the one category of space where enforcement is least discretionary and where getting the count or the signage wrong exposes the property directly. They are also the bays most often treated as ordinary spaces in a parking register, which is how a building ends up assigning one to a household that does not need it.
