Disabled parking problem?

First discuss it with the school again. And let them know that if the problem is not resolved you are going to discuss it with the police.

When you discuss it with the police be specific about the time you drop your son off. And then be sure you keep to that schedule.

You can also start photographing the cars that are illegally parked (be sure the license plate is visible and it is best to also hold up a copy of the days newspaper). Give copies of the photographs to the police.

You could also give those photos to the school.

The police will take care of it.

Make an appointment with the head of the school so that you don't have to be rushed. Bring along a letter explaining the problem and what you want done about it. Explain verbally what the trouble is and ask that something be done about it, and hand over the letter. If you are paying tuition, you might want to mention that if nothing is done, you are going to feel as if you are unwelcome at the school and as if your needs as the parent of a disabled child are being ignored in favor of not ruffling the feathers of people who are breaking the law (not to mention are ill-mannered, selfish, etc.) and that you will have to look at moving your child elsewhere.

Other thoughts:

In all likelihood, most people parking in the spot or in the hash marks are probably basically decent people thinking that "nobody here is handicapped" and that it won't matter for just a minute or two. (A lot of people have no idea what the hash marks alongside the space are for and park there or leave grocery carts in it, or whatever, but when they find out they're for loading and unloading wheelchairs, they'll do better.) Write a heartfelt note about your need to take your handicapped daughter out of the car in the mornings with a request that the person not use the space for pick-up and drop off without the proper placard or plates. Photocopy a bunch of copies, and any time someone is parked there illegally, slide a copy under their windshield wiper. If they are decent people, threats are unnecessary, a word to the wise should suffice. Eventually, everyone who does this will have received a copy and anyone who continues to do this can get a ticket and it'll be what they deserve.

You need to bring this to the attention of the principal. In person. Phoning or writing a letter is just wasting time.

Go, in person, to the police station and inform them of the situation. If they do not send somebody out during the drop off time call them before you leave home, so they can be at the school by the time you get there.

If all else fails, do not hesitate to park where you can comfortably take your daughter out of your car. If somebody complains, just point them to the occupied disabled parking space and proceed. You are being inconvenienced and should not be. Pretty soon the parents will get fed up with your disruptions and bring it to the school's attention (which you want) or stop using the space.

...be diplomatic first? Why? The ones that park in the handicap space could care less about being considerate of those who need the space. Why should you care about them. Call the police if: 1) The space is posted with a traditional sign, and 2) The space is clearly marked with appropriate pavement markings. While property owners are generally not required to enforce the law, they are possibly liable to varying degrees for incidents that occur on their property. Remind them of that in a letter, and send a copy to the media. Start fighting for the rights of your daughter now. Been there, done this. It works.

Here's a thought--is there a volunteer group that enforces handicapped parking? If so, might be able to get someone to come out for about a week and write the citations (there are cities where they have volunteers, usually disabled themselves) who will do the citations for violations of disabled spaces. Even if you get a softie who only gives warnings for about a week there should be a good drop in this.

Yes, they're only there for a couple of minutes and that's what you need to drop off a disabled child, so it's not first-come first-served it's needs-based.

Congratulations..... Disabled bays are for disabled people, in case you have been honestly disabled you would be the 1st one crying and whining approximately nor being able to park......Oh Im sorry , YOU of course have a incapacity, you may't examine... people such as you're making existence greater stable for those with disabilities to park particularly aspects.. wager what... youre no longer vast, your no longer smart and your on no account humorous even although you look to think of you're.... shame you didnt comprehend the bread is actual named once you.... merely desire you in no way fall ill adequate to desire disabled centers....you prat...

Go as high of a person in the school as possible and ask for their assistance. If that does nothing....contact the police and ask for a citizen patrol to monitor the lot and enforce the rules, or the police themselves....call the police if necessary....a few tickets to a few people should get the message out.....people are so irresponsible thesedays....and lazy

Yes it is the schools responsibility. You need to call a meeting with the headmaster/mistress and explain politely but in no uncertain terms that if this is not dealt with then you have no alternative but to bring your son in late to school (obviously you dont want to do this and it wont come to that as the school will want it even less) as your childrens safety is paramount.

Yes it is the schools place to enforce this law and if they do not call the police.

Call the police every time. They will get tired of your calls and they can't ask you to stop because you are reporting lawbreakers. Then they will talk to the school for you.
