§ Mr. Nigel JonesTo ask the Secretary of State for the Environment, Transport and the Regions what national guidelines are issued by his Department for the proper identification of disabled parking spaces. [64976]
§ Ms Glenda JacksonThe signs and road markings used to identify on-street spaces reserved for disabled badge holders are prescribed in the Traffic Signs Regulations and54W General Directions 1994 (SI 1994 No. 1519). There is no legislation covering the signing of spaces in off-street car parks, but the then Department of Transport published an advisory leaflet in 1995 which covered parking both on and off-street. TAL 5/95 is still available without charge from my Department's Mobility Unit.
