Disabled parking space
A disabled parking space is for people with physical disabilities. Other people are not allowed to park here.
You apply to the municipality for a disabled parking space near your home. The parking space is on your license plate; only your car may park there.
Do you have your own driveway, garage or parking space? Then you usually cannot apply for a handicapped parking space.
How does it work?
Are you applying for a disabled parking space? Then the municipality starts an investigation.
- The investigation is done by an employee of the Wmo department and is completed within 8 weeks.
- The employee may request additional examination by a medical specialist. In this case, the medical specialist will contact you to schedule an appointment and the examination may take longer than 8 weeks.
- Are you not driving yourself? Then the health of the person driving the car is also considered.
When will you get a parking space?
- Can you walk less than 50 meters? Then you usually get a parking space close to your home (if you cannot park on your own property).
- Can you walk 50 to 200 meters? Then you will only get a parking space if there is crowded parking in the neighborhood.
- Can you walk more than 200 meters? Then you will not get a parking space.
