Respecting Accessibility: A Guide to Handicapped Parking Signs

Updated: Aug 7


Ensuring accessibility for everyone is crucial. Handicapped parking signs play a vital role in designating spaces specifically for individuals with disabilities. At Multicolor Signs, we understand the importance of clear and compliant signage, and we're here to guide you through everything you need to know about handicapped parking signs.


The Universal Symbol of Accessibility:

The international symbol of accessibility, a blue wheelchair figure on a white background, is the cornerstone of handicapped parking signs. This universally recognized symbol ensures clear communication across languages and cultures.


Types of Handicapped Parking Signs:


Standard Handicapped Parking Sign (P-1): This rectangular sign features the international wheelchair symbol on a blue background and is the most common handicapped parking sign.


Van-Accessible Handicapped Parking Sign (P-4): This variation of the standard sign incorporates additional space markings to indicate wider spaces designed for accessible vans.


Handicapped Parking with Permit Sign (P-15): This sign combines the wheelchair symbol with a message indicating that a designated permit is required to park in the space.


Beyond the Sign: Additional Information on Handicapped Parking Signs

Handicapped parking signs may include additional information to enhance clarity and compliance:


Vertical or Horizontal Display: Signs can be displayed vertically or horizontally depending on location and mounting options.


Distance to Building: Some signs may include the distance to the nearest building entrance, providing valuable information for those with mobility limitations.


Directional Arrows: In parking lots with multiple handicapped parking spaces, directional arrows may be used to guide drivers to available spaces.


Regulatory Wording: Signs may include specific regulations regarding the use of handicapped parking spaces, such as maximum parking times or fines for unauthorized use.
