Current Law

Every state agency and political subdivision in Arizona with jurisdiction over parking facilities must provide designated disability parking spaces.

The designated spaces must be labeled with outlining paint and a permanent sign that is between three and six feet tall, which must have their colors and designs approved by the Director. The signs must have the internationally accepted symbol of access and be captioned "reserved parking" (A.R.S. §28-882).

A person may only park, stand or stop in a designated disability parking space if the vehicle is occupied by a person with a disability special plate or placard or if the vehicle has a disability special plate or placard on display. Nobody, including a vehicle with a disability special plate or placard, may stop, stand or park in an access aisle for a disability parking space. An access aisle is an area next to a disability parking space that is marked with spaced, crosshatched or diagonal stripes or a distinctive change in color or material to allow for an accessible route of travel (A.R.S. §28-884).
