§32-6-232. Parking in designated zones; exceptions.

Individuals with long-term and temporary disabilities to whom removable windshield placards or distinctive special access or disability access license plates are issued, and the operators of motor vehicles on which these distinctive license plates are issued when transporting individuals with disabilities, shall be allowed to park in parking zones designated for individuals with disabilities upon the payment of parking fees the same as any other person. This section does not permit parking in zones where stopping, standing, or parking is prohibited to all vehicles, or zones reserved for special types of vehicles. This section also does not permit parking when there is a local ordinance prohibiting parking during heavy traffic periods during morning, afternoon, or evening rush hours, or where parking would clearly present a traffic hazard. All parking places for individuals with disabilities shall comply with ANSI A. 117.1 (1980) standards.
