Handicap
First made available in 1973, holders of this plate were authorized to park not only in handicapped-designated spaces, but also for unlimited periods in parking zones otherwise restricted as to the length of time parking was normally permitted. They were additionally exempted from paying parking meter fees. However, the vehicle was still prohibited from being parked in any No Parking zone, including those in which parking was prohibited during certain hours of the day. Now this is officially called a “Mobility Limitation” plate. The Handicap plate is also available in a Motorcycle version, but this type is rarely seen. |
