Thank you for using JustAnswer!
Could you please provide more background information/context of the facts surrounding your question?
Sorry I replied but I don't think I sent it to you correctly. The incident occured in a large apartment complex. The spot in question is marked with a painted handicapped sign on the pavement only. There is no posted handicapped sign on a pole in front of the spot.
There are other spots in this complex that are designated by both a posted sign on a pole and a painted sign on the pavement. The apartment manager informed me that they have removed signs on purpose to make more regular parking spots and that it was her understanding that ther must be a sign a a painted sign on the pavement to be a legally designated handicapped spot. The police sargent also indicated that it is his understanding that there must be a sign on the pole and a painted sign on the pavement
to designate a spot as handicapped. The issuing officer did not have a direct answer he just told me I have to go to court. This incident occured within the city limits of San Antonio,Texas.
Yes that is correct. Myself as well as two other tenants who have concerns regarding
this matter.
The guidelines of the Americans with Disabilities Act, as published by the Civil Rights Division of the U.S. Department of Justice reflect that a sign is also required.
The relevant guideline can be found at: http://www.ada.gov/restripe.htm You can print and take that to court with you.
Good luck and best wishes! I hope that you find this information to be helpful and this answer to be ACCEPTable!
