Be aware of law about disabled parking stalls

MEDIA RELEASE

Motorists are advised it is illegal to occupy a parking stall for disabled persons unless the vehicle has a valid, visible disabled parking placard.

Motorists are also advised the disabled person who is assigned the placard must be an occupant of the vehicle. If the disabled person is not in the vehicle when parked, the placard does not allow the vehicle to be parked in a parking stall for disabled persons.

Violations of the disabled parking law may face a fine of between $250 and $500 per offense (HRS 291-57).

It is important to observe all traffic regulations so all drivers may avail themselves of opportunities available to them under the law.

Anyone seeing someone parking in a stall for the disabled without a valid placard should call the Police Department’s central dispatch number, 935-3311, so an officer may be dispatched and the vehicle cited.
