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. -- Dave - The Medway Handyman www.medwayhandyman.co.uk |

On the road, it should be to diagram 1028.3 here http://www.legislation.gov.uk/uksi/2...chedule/6/made 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: http://www.snapi.org.uk/info/guidelines/car_parking.htm Colin Bignell |

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. -- bert |

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. -- Rod |

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). -- fred it's a ba-na-na . . . . |
