handicap space

Reserved accessible spot

A handicap space is a parking spot reserved for people with disabilities, marked by a wheelchair symbol and typically located near building entrances.

The term is giving way to alternatives like accessible parking or disabled parking, as handicap has fallen out of favor in disability contexts.

Someone took the last handicap space, so we had to park across the lot.
