Alexandria Police Target Violators of Parking Spaces Reserved for Persons with Disabilities

Chief of Police David P. Baker wants to inform citizens that the Alexandria Police Department will soon begin its quarterly crackdown on vehicles illegally parked in spaces reserved for motorists with disabilities.

Parking Enforcement and Patrol officers will give special attention to violators who park in spaces reserved for drivers with disabilities starting on Monday, December 3, and continuing through Friday, December 7.

Drivers are reminded that only vehicles bearing special license tags or windshield placards issued by a Department of Motor Vehicles, or equivalent, are permitted to park in spaces designated for motorists with disabilities. The penalty is $201 for violating disabled parking restrictions, but costs could go higher with possible towing and storage charges.

Chief Baker would also like to remind drivers that the Alexandria Police Department enforces spaces reserved for motorists with disabilities in privately owned shopping centers and parking lots.
