THIS Is The Reason Why You Don’t Park In Striped Areas Designated For People With Disabilities

There’s a reason you shouldn’t park in the loading areas in parking spaces designated for people with disabilities.

In a Facebook post officer Zack Goins, who recently wrote a citation for a person who didn’t understand why it was such a big deal to park on the lines, provides a visual explanation of why the striped loading area is there:

In an interview with The Mighty, Goins said it is not uncommon for people to not understand why parking in the loading area warrants a citation. He recently had an incident when someone contested their citation. “I towed the vehicle, and they couldn’t figure out why,” he said.

Goins saw a picture on Facebook he feels perfectly illustrates why parking in the loading area is a problem. In it, you can see a young boy unable to get on the ramp leading up to his car. Although Goins does not know who the picture belongs to, he shared it on his page with the status: “So, for anyone who asks why you would get a citation for parking in the striped area in a handicap zone, THIS IS WHY!!!”
