Regulatory signs
Reserved parking, disability symbol
What it means
Disability plates do not by themselves allow use of a reserved space; the person with a disability named on the vehicle's registration must be in the car. That person can be the driver or a passenger, so the driver does not have to be the one with the disability.

- ANo matter who happens to be riding in the car
