Reverse in? Like everyone should basically do anyway?
Comment on People who park in the handicapped ramp boil my blood.

So people are aware: If you are handicapped, you CAN park in the striped lines. In many cases, it’s the only feasible option for that person to safely exit.
For example: If directly to the left of the spot is a wall and your vehicles’ automated ramp deploys to the left, they have to park in the stripes.
Adding insult to injury in this case, it’s possible the handicapped person can’t enter their fucking car.

Yeah. I don’t know why this isn’t standard, it’s far safer than front in. You have less of a chance mowing down small children and animals.

Places that have specific security concerns with people being able to get away from the building fairly quickly seem to mandate backing in to the parking spots in my country.

Same. I have worked at facilities where the only parking allowed was facing out, or you would be towed.

You can’t back into a spot in a diagonal parking lot.

Are you it’s legal? Why can’t you just back in if it’s on the wrong side?

Late response: Yes. You can’t back into a spot in a diagonal parking lot.

Exactly this happened to my friend who is a quadriplegic, some asshat parked on the striped lines next to her and she couldn’t get in her car because there was no space for the ramp. She posted a great video at the time showing visually why you should never park in the stripes.

So much this.
The hashed out area… that’s what it’s there for- its part of the accessible parking space.
