It always pisses my wife off when I park in a “handicapped” spot that is really just an old spot with badly faded paint.
For a handicapped parking spot to actually be a handicapped parking spot, you need both the pavement painting and the sign.
I would like to note that the spots I’m talking about aren’t even the ones close to the building (which is probably why they took down the sign), and there are actual spots closer to the door.
