Differently abled parking spot found

[hoosierdoc]

It's hard to see this as handicapped parking, given the slope and big pile of mulch.

 

[jagee]

Yeah...that slope is well over the ADA max

 

[Snapdragon]

There's no wheelchair on that spot, so probably not a "differently abled" spot. This one, however, was a handicapped spot at the Crown Point Post Office....

That isn't a marked disabled parking spot. No wheelchair logo. It is for off road vehicles only!

 

[hoosierdoc]

No vertical post which i think is required in Indiana. I'm saying the spot is the blue one without mulch, but pile of mulch right up to it and a huge slope on handicapped spot

I am not familiar with the area in post #1. Does anyone have a suggestion for a better location for handicapped parking? The mulch is probably temporary and will most likely be gone soon. The driver could park at the right side of the lane or even partially on the stripes. The spot is closest to the walkway. A flat spot 100 feet or more away may be more of a burden than that slope.

Or they could reverse into the spot, putting the driver's door on the opposite side with the blue stripes.

1:50 max slope for the space and access ramp

Yeah none of the spots shown are enforceable.

What is your point? Do you recommend that a fully able-bodied person ignore the signage and park there, since it is not enforceable?

Can't enforce penalties for those who ignore it

Nothing about the cars parked in motorcycle parking?

I don't see any motorcycle parking...

I guess not, on my phone they look like half spaces.

We weren't discussing morality. Poster mentioned the missing elements of the marked spaces, I confirmed. Climb down and join the rest of us for a beer!

 

[Quiet Observer]

I'll take that as a "yes".

Whatever it takes to hit that magic 50. Glad to be of service.
