34. 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 New Zealand mobility parking permit guarantee free parking everywhere?
No. In Auckland, a correctly displayed mobility permit allows use of designated mobility spaces and some longer-stay concessions, but entitlements depend on the car park and its operator. Read the parking payment and time-limit signs.

Can an Auckland mobility e-permit replace the physical permit?

Display a current mobility parking permit on the dashboard. Holding a permit without displaying it is insufficient.

Can someone else use a Wellington mobility permit when its holder is absent?
