handicapped space

Accessible parking spot

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

The term is giving way to accessible parking or disabled parking as language preferences shift.

Using these spaces without authorization typically draws fines: Someone took the last handicapped space, so I had to park across the lot.
