BILL NUMBER: S6120 TITLE OF BILL : An act to amend the vehicle and traffic law, in relation to requiring access aisles of handicapped parking spaces to be marked with "No Parking Anytime" signs PURPOSE : To prevent people from parking in the access aisles of handicapped parking spaces by further identifying access aisles with signs that are distinctly different from the signs that are currently required to be posted to identify handicapped accessible parking spaces. SUMMARY OF SPECIFIC PROVISIONS : This bill amends paragraph (b) of subdivision 2 of section 1203-c of the vehicle and traffic law, as amended by chapter 350 of the laws of 1993. JUSTIFICATION : Currently, many drivers, both disabled and able-bodied, use the access aisles that lie adjacent to handicapped accessible parking spaces as additional parking spaces. Often times these access aisles have no signage designating them as a no parking zone, and when disabled drivers who have properly parked in a handicapped parking space return to their vehicles, they find that they cannot get into their vehicle
