Traffic Tip Tuesdays: Parking Spaces for the Disabled


Sec. 21-1006. Parking lot spaces for individuals with disabilities

“A person may not park a motor vehicle in a space designated for the use of individuals with disabilities unless:

The vehicle bears a special registration plate, a removable windshield placard, or a temporary removable windshield placard issued by the Motor Vehicle Administration.

The person is authorized to use the privileges conferred by the special registration plate, removable windshield placard, or temporary placard…”

The fine for parking in a space for disabled individuals without the correct authorization is $140.

If you see someone in a parking space for the disabled without the correct tags or placards, call the St. Mary’s County Sheriff’s Office at 301-475-8008.
