He didn't park in the space, so technically he isn't hurting anyone. A jerky thing to do but I'd move on with life.

Wrong. That area is designated as a loading zone for handicap vans. It is needed to give space for the wheelchair lift found on many handicap vans.

Another example of FairfaxUnderground ignorance running high! That space is lined off for utilities and trash collection, the fact that it is to the left of the handicapped space is coincidence. Most chair loading vans have their doors on the _passenger_ side of the van.

Was the handicap spot available? Maybe he has a handicap placard and some non-handicap douche was parked in the handicap spot, or over the line so he parked there. I need more context before I label a fellow Virginian anonymously on the Internet.

This is what a chair-accessibility layout looks like. They are not normally yellow-lined. The trash bin barn in front of the yellow line area in the picture should have been the giveaway.

Oh so I suppose the yellow painted asphalt ramp that is at the front of the truck is a coincidence as well?

interesting. I can guarantee you those spaces dont pass muster... From DMV website, the aisle must be a minimum of 96"...

Accessible Parking Spaces for Vans

Van-accessible parking spaces are the same as accessible parking spaces for cars except for three features needed for vans:

Sign with "van accessible" and the international symbol of accessibility mounted high enough so the sign can be seen when a vehicle is parked in the space.
96" min. width access aisle, level (max. slope 1:50 in all directions), located beside the van parking space.
Min. 98-inch-high clearance at van parking space, access aisle, and on vehicular route to and from van space.
More specific information and guidance on accessible parking spaces is available from the Code Analysis Division, Fairfax County Department of Public Works and Environmental Services, 703-324-1700, TTY 711.

Another giveaway is the lot surface bumper right in front of the sidewalk (where the front wheels of the track are parked against), and a trash can right there on the sidewalk. A chair user landing in that yellow-lined area would have nowhere to go if they exited the vehicle on that side, except back out into the lot and into traffic. The more you know!

The answer is in your own quote, that isn't a van-accessible parking space. It would have a sign at the top of the space saying so. Not all handicapped spaces (in fact a minority) are van-accessible.

I should say the pic doesn't give us a wide enough angle, but the van accessible sign (were it there) would likely be visible in the photo if it was there.

If the thread poster can give us the location of the store we can take a look at Google Maps and see all of the lot itself.

how the ramp should be, so yes, he is blocking the wheelchair ramp. Before ADA, they would just have raised concrete ramps (the yellow blob you can see under the front axle). In either case, OP was right, this guys a dick for blocking handicap access. If hes indeed a handicap car himself, then hes just dumb for blocking the ramp made for his parking space.

I see where you are coming from but for the sake of argument... given the angle of the OPs pic, there could be a 'Van Accessible' placard attached to the building as I have seen around here in the past.

the picture you posted likely isnt in Virginia. Different state, different laws.

Johnny,
There was no placard on display in the vehicle - and inside he was getting around just fine. When I inquired inside I asked the guy why he would park like that and he just shrugged, barely an audible, "ughnuh". I told him he was an ass. He came back that it wasn't a handicap space. Thats when I went back out and took a pic and said I would let the internet decide. I was a douche to him but he was a douche first. Fuck him.

Sometimes you just think you're crazy. Someone is obviously doing something wrong and nobody says shit. I speak up and the ladies at the counter spoke up after he left but nobody in the store. The guy was almost a foot taller than me and probably had another 50 lbs on him but he was also 20 years older. I'm not afraid of much and call people on their shit. It just seemed so unnecessary to park there, like thumbing his nose.

The very next day a different truck was parked in the exact same spot and a Parking Enforcement car was parked the next available space. I mentioned to the PE officer as he was coming out of the 711 if that was legal. He said no, and he would get him on his way out. I go in and watch as the guy just drives away. But no without a look from the PE Officer. What a useless idiot, not even a verbal warning.

Fucking world is nearly falling apart. Nobody seems to care about stuff that is clearly in the wrong, lest the people that are employed specifically to discourage it. Fucking City of Fairfax.

But at least the original Ass got an ear full of what I thought. Maybe it will discourage him next time. Maybe not.

i honestly dont know what Parking Enforcement could write him up for (assuming WMATA Worker is correct and that space is not designated for 'Vans')

There are a very narrow set of regulations that can be enforced on private property. The 7-11 manager/owner/employee could certianly have a tow truck remove the vehicle but there is no legal issue here.

I think that the only motor vehicle offenses you can get on private property are DWU/DUI, reckless driving, handicap parking, parking in Fire Lane/in front of hydrant. Other than that, there isnt much they can do. Like the bullshit stop sighs in a shopping center.... worthless to LEOs. I guess they could stick you with reckless but thats a stretch for ignoring a meaningless, property manager maintained sign.

I guess you need to read what you are posting... the diagram is correct in your link, to the _right_ of the space where the vans unload. Sigh.

Look again where the truck parked, where is a wheelchair supposed to go after that? The sidewalk is blocked at the head of the space by what looks similar to a speed bump, and the sidewalk is blocked by a trashcan even if someone managed to get up there.

That could possibly be a ramp, but if it is it is on the wrong side for a van. The ramp itself may be intended for loading/unloading as there appears to be some kind of fenced area there. If the 7-11 there intends for it to be an accessibility ramp it wouldn't be very useful for the majority of those using chairs deployed from vans. Plus the yellow-lined area is way wider than what would be expected for an area for van access.

As I said, it appears the area is coincidentally placed next to a non-van-accessible space. To the casual observer that didn't know any better because he/she normally gets out of their own vehicle on the driver side it would appear to be what the thread poster believed, that it was blocking the space.

More pics could give more answers, but the surface allotment for a van is supposed to be to the right of the space.

That's called Trucker Parking.

See, wanna-be "truckers" who drive pickups and large SUVs generally do so because they have inferiority complexes. Their lives revolve around getting attention and constantly trying to prove to others that they are superior. What better way than to park like a jackass?

Make a jackass out of yourself on FFXU. You know, make wild ramdom stereotyping accusations with no basis in fact, but you know you might get a rise out of someone.

Not just vans. People in wheelchairs drive regular cars, too. They put their chairs in the back seat.

I heard of someone getting a $500 ticket for parking in a yellow lined space over by Fairfax Towne Center (it that's the one with the TJ Maxx, Baja Fresh, and Moby Dick). I think it was considered to be the same as parking in the handicap space.

Complete dickhead.

I called him a jerk, if you misread it then read it again, it says "jerk". WMATA Driver has posted enough to satisfy me that lined area is not designed to be part of the space. I agree it could be useful to some people assuming all the other barriers to entry were not there, and the guy was a jerk for parking his truck there, but it isn't part of the handicapped space according to the picture provided.

If that officer could have scored a $500 ticket for writing up the truck I'm guessing he would have done it as that would have been a major score.

I didn't misread anything. I just mentioned that it's not only vans that need the extra those spaces.

Maybe an officer wasn't at the 7-11 when the truck was there. Happens all the time.

There is always some fucking jerkoff parked in the FIRE LANE in front of my local Giant. They're normal (ie. not handicapped or anything) people, they just like to park there. They turn their engines off, and leave someone in the car (usually the driver). They just like to park there.

Tonight was per usual. Hillariously, some OTHER jerkwad fuckface was trying to REVERSE into the illegal spot. (All these people park as close to the store's door as possible - this guy was trying to back in, for some reason. I am pretty sure he was going inside to use the ATM or something like that, because 10 minutes ago I saw him preparing to leave where he was parked before: loading his groceries at perfectly legal spot in the lot.) UNFORTUNATELY fuckoff #1 was already parked in the illegal spot at the head of the FIRE LANE. She had her headlights off, of course. Barking and ranting into her cell phone for at least 20 minutes. Then SUDDENLY -- CRASH-CRUNCH-HONK!! Dumbfuck backs his car into Shithead's car! Crunch crunch crunch!

That noise made me feel GREAT all the way home!!

It's sad to say but most handicapped spaces are occupied by people that don't need the access. I see them every fucking day at the gym. At least three or four fat fucks a day park in handicapped spaces (presumably with a permit), waddle into the gym and get on a treadmill. They waddle and fiddle with their iPhone for 25 minutes and then waddle back out to their car. Why the fuck do they need a handicapped permit? Are they mentally handicapped and if they park elsewhere they will forget where they parked their car?

How about contractors who occupy a marked Accessible parking spot for 4-8 weeks and property management does nothing about it?

At the Residences of Sprongfield Station, a Kettler Managed, JP Morgan owned property they are extensively remodeling the exteriors on all buildings. basically ripping off all exterior down to gypsum and resheathing.

In doing so, Kettler allowed Chesapekae Finishing and CWS to place contsruction materials and vehicles in legally marked handicapped parking spaces for between 4-8 weeks. All the tenants thought it was done correctly.

Come to find out through FCPD parking enforcement, it was totally illegal and all contarctors and property management were warned not to do it agan as FCPD would back to reinspect.

Contactors took some corrective actions but poor at best.

In relation to this post,it was learned that a "non-legal" accessible parking space prevented FCPD citation. For instance, an apparent handicapped space w/o the proper sign was "non-legal" Further, ADA regulations change over time so some spaces enjoy grandfathering depending upon their creation. Lastly, there is no real mechanism in place to police compliant Accesible parking spaces anywhere.

Depending upon how the space fails, it may fall under local zoning, local code enforcement, state or federal jurisdiction. In reality, determing a handicapped space compliance is sort of like a title search and apparently noone wants to directly be responsioble.

What is a shame is that those who need this assistance most often don't complain (like veterans or wounded warriors) and the practice is allowed to persist.

Sorry for the long post but like the OP, we should really stand up for these type of inequities when observed.

This used to happen all the time at the Giant at Union Mill. Never anyone over forty, and never anyone who looked even remotely handicapped. If I wasn't in a hurry, I'd go in and report them. Stupidly, I'd sometimes confront them. At which point they'd say "What the f--- is YOUR problem?" I don't know what happened, but this hasn't been a problem there for a while.

The standard is right side of the spot, check out the ADA link someone posted. What that 7-11 did is wrong. It is on the wrong side and is in yellow paint.

If it is on the left it is nonstandard and wrong, that is what the standards say, not me. I don't agree they should be able to get a checkmark for "Van Accessible" when the spot doesn't follow accessibility standards but I'm not in charge.

I know it's hard to comprehend but folks like me who drive a van for a quadraplegic friend actually can do that thing called putting the vehicle in "reverse" and backing into the spot. Did it last weekend at Fairfax Corner. Standard or not, spots like that still help us in clusterfuck parking lots like Fairfax Corner.

BTW, your user name is a contradiction of terms. Also, anyone from WMATA discussing "standards" is also hilarious.

I was providing info and comment, not advocating that people park in any lined area on a parking lot. Obviously if you back in then the other side would work assuming no one is parked there, but that isn't what the standard calls for. Why anyone would knock a professional for lending insight is strange, but if no one wants to hear it I'll find something else to do. Good day.

The ADA standards you provided are specifically for lodging establishments. Moreover, it does not say anywhere that it MUST be on the right hand side of the space. The diagram given simply has an example of it being on that side. You cant fint any text anywhere that says otherwise. Pay attention next time you are in a big parking lot. There will be van spots with the access lane on both sides as shown in Biggus Dickus's photo.

4 in 1, He did not have a ticket or get one. He only recieved an earful from me.

WMATA Driver, you have relayed some misinformation as if you are an expert but failed miserably at using common sense to see that you can exit a van from wither side simply by backing the van in or driving straight in, as needed. You lost your credibiliy with me.

Thanks for the posts, very insightful, JBass.

I was back at my local 7-11 and guess who is parked out front, again, and parked in that same spot? As I am going in, he is coming out and nearly walks over me as I enter. I say that "I see he is still parking where he shouldn't" and he says, "well, why dont you take another picture?"

So I did. After emptying his ice, he threw the bag at me. I said I was glad I made him so mad. I may actually be having an affect upon him.

This guy just doesn't get it. Motherfucking rude Asshole. Plenty of spaces and he chooses to go out of his way to park in that spot. Totally ignorant of everyone else.

After some choice words, I told him all he has to do is quit parking there and I will quit harrassing him. Then I called him as Asshole.

Yeah, park once and maybe you can let it slide. Do it twice and you're just a dick. Maybe he's like a soccer mom who's SUV is too much for them to drive and he parks there so he can get out of the parking lot without a 58 point turn.

Nice work.

I am shocked -- shocked -- that the "trucker" who parks illegally on a regular basis is a big fatass. Truly not what I expected. :-)

He can't walk TOO far. He might start losing those love handles.

I know what you mean thought. It just eats at me when someone thinks the rules apply to everyone else but them and then act like you are the jerk for saying something about it.

Plus, that truck is way too clean for him to actually have done any manual labor with it, which would partially explain his fat ass.

EDIT: Spelling.

If he is in front of 7-11 he should get some Manuel labor to wash it.

This used to be marked off for two handicapped spaces. Of course then, the trash truck couldn't get in if it was occupied.

With his attitude you'd expect him to be a bicyclist riding along the W&O knocking over 80 yr olds.

Based on his girth, I am willing to bet he has no idea what a walking trail is, never mind where they are located.

My response would be:
What a pathetic ass person has the time to respond to someone who posts about that. Don't park there and I wont harass you. Simple.

BTW, you don't have to read these posts, so please move along.

I'm curious, what if he didn't park on the yellow stripes? Just on the bare pavement leading up to the stripes--would that be illegal? It wouldn't be blocking anything in the lot other than maybe a trash truck trying to get to the dumpster.
