handicap spot
Accessible parking space
A handicap spot is a parking space reserved for people with disabilities, marked by the wheelchair symbol and typically located close to building entrances.
The term is giving way to alternatives like accessible parking or disabled parking as handicap falls out of favor.
Using one without proper credentials invites fines and social disapproval: Someone took the last handicap spot and they don't even have a placard.
