    And all it took was paraplegics crawling up the steps of the capitol in protest.

    Is.. is that actually what happened? My younger self might have assumed you were exaggerating, but my current self has seen too much to assume anything.

    It always pisses my wife off when I park in a "handicapped" spot that is really just an old spot with badly faded paint.

    For a handicapped parking spot to actually be a handicapped parking spot, you need both the pavement painting and the sign.

    I would like to note that the spots I'm talking about aren't even the ones close to the building (which is probably why they took down the sign), and there are actual spots closer to the door.

    Hey there, sometimes-wheelchair-user here. Afaik the law is also the same where I live, the spot has to have a sign. Here, when there's a spot with just faded paint, it usually just means that the handicap spot got moved somewhere else. The only thing I'd suggest is if you don't already, just check and make sure that there is a spot somewhere else that does have a sign. If there isn't, it's probably because the owner just didn't mark the spot properly. In that case, it's best to leave it open for those who need it, even though it wouldn't technically be against the law to park there.

    I'm not accusing you of anything, just putting this out there in case the situation comes up. Cheers!
