Disabled Parking Bay Abuse
In the United Kingdom, non-disabled drivers routinely abuse car-parking spaces specifically allocated to disabled motorists. This generates frustration, anger, resentment and leads to real problems for disabled drivers, carers and parking providers alike.
Disability Discrimination Act
From October 2004, Part III of the Disability Discrimination Act 1995 came into effect within the United Kingdom. This legislation places a legal requirement on service providers to ensure that disabled people do not find it unreasonably difficult or impossible to enjoy the service in the same way as non-disabled people.
Legal Requirements
Whilst the earlier parts of the Act focussed primarily on disabled access into buildings, Part III now looks closer at the issue of car parking. A key element of Part III is that service providers that operate a car park now have to 'monitor' their disabled bays to prevent abuse by non-disabled drivers. Failure to provide monitoring could result in a heavy financial penalty, as disabled drivers exercise their rights to compensation under the terms of the Act.
Handipark Mini Barrier
However, in the battle to combat disabled bay abuse K-Five Sales Ltd are able to provide Handipark. Already proven in a variety of applications, Handipark is a mini parking barrier that is installed directly onto the road surface to reserve a blue bay for use by a disabled driver. To access the space the driver simply presses the button on a hand-held remote control device, which automatically lowers the barrier. Handipark will then remain down until the car has left the space, when the barrier will rise back to the vertical position, smoothly and automatically.
