In Phoenix and Mesa, Arizona, we have a Save Our Space Campaign. I would think this would be viable across the country, but I wanted to share this information for those who disregard that blue sign.
I don't know about you, but it irritates the heck out of me when I see someone young, agile and clearly NOT disabled park in a spot designated for the disabled! Some "just for a minute." We saw someone the other evening, park in the handicapped parking to run into Block Busters. Fortunately, in Mesa, each shopping area has myriad spots reserved for the disabled.
Warnings to those who want to park in such a spot - even if it's for a minute. The Save our Space campaign warns motorists that if they park in a spot disignated for the disabled, they could be taking away a space from someome who really needs it. AND, if they get caught, it will cost them between $250 and $500!
During the holidays, the parking spots become primo, but there are police officers and volunteers patroling the parking lots, and they issue tickets to violators. To report violations, botain information or become a volunteer, call 602.534-7722. OR log on at phoenix.gov/mcdi/dispark.html.
One day, YOU may be disabled or at least old, and need a spot to park closer....Be kind and thoughtful and don't use one of the disabled parking spots - unless you are.
