handicap sign

Accessible spot marker

A handicap sign is the blue-and-white symbol—a stylized figure in a wheelchair—displayed on parking spaces, restrooms, and entrances reserved for people with disabilities.

The sign marks accessible facilities: She pulled into the spot under the handicap sign.

The term is giving way to "accessible" or "disability" signage as *handicap* falls out of favor.
