77. Disabled parking
Disabled parking refers to parking spaces and parking privileges reserved for people with disabilities who meet the applicable eligibility requirements. Reserved spaces are normally identified by the international wheelchair symbol and are positioned to provide easier access to nearby facilities.
Use of a disabled parking space generally requires a valid disabled parking permit or card. The permit normally belongs to the eligible person rather than to a particular vehicle and may only be used when that person is driving or travelling in the vehicle.

Does a German orange parking permit allow use of wheelchair-reserved spaces?
No. The orange permit grants specified concessions but does not authorise wheelchair-reserved parking. The appropriate blue parking permit is needed for those spaces.
