DANG!
I remember fondly the quaint old days when only the very physically handicapped got special parking spots....
I guess the casino is the biggest farce....those handicap spots are never empty...
We need this really bad around Ithaca. For an allegedly "enlightened liberal" town, it's awfully damned insensitive to handicapped spots.
No one ever parks in handicapped parking spaces here, they are such a waste. We are elderly, and we don’t park there. For example, when we go to Target, we walk past about 25 handicapped spots, and there are never cars there.
The wife has pulmonary fibrosis. It makes walking distances a real problem for her.
To look at her, you wouldn’t think she has a disability. But follow her for five minutes and you will hear her laboring for breath.
I usually drop her off at the front of the store and then park.
It ticks me off to watch welfare queens, whose only disability is the extra hundred pounds of weight they lug around, park in a disabled spot and walk much quicker and farther than the wife is able to.
I do console myself with the thought that what goes around comes around.
Spare me...In my area (north east) it seems the handicap parking spots are on par with the normal spots anymore and if you have the time to just park and watch, the ones with the coveted “stickers” or mirror placards have absolutely no problem getting around. As another has pointed out, it seems the problem is too many people are considered handicapped these days.
Maybe we need holograms of the Heavenly Father & St. Peter at exit doors of stores that are heavily pilfered.
As George Carlin said, “I love handicapped people. If it weren’t for handicapped people, I never would find a parking spot.”
Try that here and listen to the howls of profiling, or whatever.......................
Googled АВИА ПАРК Москва
That appears to be a multistory saltwater aquarium. Wow.
I watched a guy key the entire length of an Escalade parked illegally in a handicapped space.
I gave him a thumbs up.
Most people that I see in the wheelie spots are either obese (and therefore need the exercise) or are borrowing some else’s tag. It would be nice to see a crackdown on them.
“choose to ignore the flat sign”
I don’t know how it works in Russia, but in the DC area, spaces require BOTH the pavement marking and a sign. I have seen one or two spaces with markings only.
When I see “flat sign”, it makes me think they only have the pavement marking.
I am tall enough so that I can see over the hood, but plenty of folks are not. I see plenty of “driverless” cars where you can see someone driving when you’re looking from the car behind them.
There’s no way such a person would see the marking on the floor as they pull into a space.
So the problem in Russia may be the absence of signs in addition to the markings. Don’t know. Keep in mind, snow will cover a pavement marking.
At one supermarket there are handicapped spots and non handicapped spots equal distance from the entrance. It burns me up when the handicapped park in the spaces for non handicapped when there are several handicapped spots open. Why not the reverse punishment for them when this occurs?
I see that all the time!
I have one in my Tahoe but it is my husbands plackard, I don't use it!
