If there is not a handicap parking sign mounted can u park if your not handicap?

Question

There is a handicap picture on the pavement, but not a mounted sign. A resident where I work was inquiring

Answer 1

No you can't. It is still a handicap area even tho there is no sign.

Answer 2

No.  If there is any marking, either on the pavement or a sign, saying that it is a handicapped space, then it is.

Answer 3

no,whats the diff if the picture is on ground or a pole? maybe your freind can park there since they cant figure that out

Answer 4

A sign SHOULD be posted, but if the spot is painted, it is still a handicap spot.  

The lines are usually in blue to differentiate the spots.

There is usually a stiff fine for parking in a handicap spot and in some jurisdictions, they MAY tow and impound the vehicle......if towed, you will have to pay the fine + towing + storage and you can expect the costs of this to grow to a few hundred $$ over the parking offense.

Answer 5

A sign is a sign, whether on the ground or on a pole.  There are plenty of other traffic and safety signs on the roads, including RR crossings, crosswalks, curb paint, lane markers, turning lane arrows and others.  Don't risk a ticket just because you "think" there might be a loophole.

Answer 6

The idea for handicap parking is to give the convenient to those who need it, so why challenge with sign or no sign.  Park somewhere else.

Answer 7

It is still a handicap spot, so no.

Answer 8

No you can not park there.  

Answer 9

No sign is needed, the painted emblem is all that is needed.
