Disabled parking signs
 

Anyone know?

Do you have to have a blue disabled parking sign, or one painted on the
floor, or both?

Application is outside an office block on an industrial estate.

In a car park or on the road?

On the road, it should be to diagram 1028.3 here

If it is a public highway, you need to apply to the highways authority
to put it down.

The following guidance is for car parks:

Private land.

It's nothing more than the serving suggestion given on a microwave meal.

Presumably when the road is covered in snow, restrictions are
lifted...

Not sure it really matters, most people ignore them anyway.

I imagine it has more to do with being seen to comply with the
Disability Discrimination Act.

Then I don't think there is anything mandatory about he way they mark
their disabled parking bays. However it is advisable to mark the bay
with the recognised road sign on the floor and then if suitable location
exists put up a sign on a pole.

As per another post people are all to ready to abuse the system at the
slightest excuse.

Most people respect them It's the few selfish pillocks who ignore them
giving the impression that most people ignore them. Those who can't be
arsed to walk a couple of yards extra - and I am not a blue badge holder

I have a copy of the relevant BS in front of me. The sign on a post is
recommended "to identify parking space when road markings are obscured eg
by snow or fallen leaves".

It is my impression that more people respect them when the whole thing
has been done properly and you can see real disabled people using them.
Some of the older "slop a bit of paint on the ground 'ere Jim" bays of
yesteryear did not get much respect.

Places like B&Q where you literally could not tell which bays were for
disabled - they had worn paint markings - but so too did many other bays
which had in the past been disabled bays. You really couldn't tell which
were current.

I had a chat with the security guard at a Lidl supermarket about
enforcement when I saw a few being mis-occupied. He advised that they've
been told not to enforce them after verbal punch ups with the fat,
mouthy slags that seem to be the worst offenders. Too much trouble
apparently.

Does it give any indication whether post signage is mandatory? A Glasgow
(council) enforcement bod has advised me that they have to rely on
goodwill and ones w/o signs aren't enforceable (none have signs here).

a BS is only mandatory if someone (such as a local authority) says so.

There are some here outside a long-closed MFI and they are still
respected.

The security guards need to be armed with salad.
