Florida

Florida has a Parking Permit scheme administered by the Department of Highway Safety & Motor Vehicles

Parking spaces

Those reserved for a Parking Permit holder are marked with the wheelchair symbol.

Do not park if the space is marked with someone's name or a licence plate number.

Do not park on the striped area adjacent to a disabled person parking space – it is there to allow a wheelchair user access to and from the vehicle.

Where you may use your Parking Permit
