Which statement about handicap parking misuse is accurate?

• A. It is legal if you are temporarily visiting.
• B. It is illegal and subject to fines.
• C. You can park there if you are loading a passenger.
• D. It is allowed if you have a medical exemption.

Answer: (B)

Handicap parking spaces are reserved for vehicles carrying a person with a disability who displays a valid disability placard or license plate. Using these spaces without proper authorization is illegal and can lead to fines. Temporary visitors, loading a passenger, or having a medical exemption does not by itself grant permission to park there; the key is having and displaying the appropriate placard or plate. This rule keeps accessible parking available for those who need it.
