Handicap Parking Signs by State

Handicap Parking Signs by State FAQ

Why are handicap parking signs state-specific?

While the federal ADA sets the accessible-parking symbol and mounting rules, individual states add their own required wording — such as the permit or plate requirement, the fine amount, and tow-away language — so many states have their own version of the R7-8 handicap parking sign.

Which states require a specific handicap parking sign?

We offer state-specific handicap parking signs for California, Connecticut, Delaware, Florida, Georgia, Illinois, Massachusetts, Michigan, Minnesota, Missouri, Montana, New Jersey, New York, North Carolina, Ohio, Oregon, Pennsylvania, Tennessee, Virginia, Washington, West Virginia, and Wisconsin.

What is the difference between a federal ADA sign and a state handicap parking sign?

The federal ADA sign shows the International Symbol of Accessibility and “Reserved Parking.” State signs add state-specific details such as the exact fine amount (for example, California’s minimum $250), permit or special-plate requirements, and enforcement or tow-away language.

How do I know which handicap parking sign my state requires?

Requirements are set by your state statute or DOT. Choose your state above, or contact us and we will help match the correct sign, wording, and fine amount for your location.

Can I customize the fine amount on a state sign?

Yes. Many state signs come with the statutory fine already printed, and we can also produce custom-fine plaques or fully custom signs if your municipality requires a different penalty amount.

What materials and sizes are available?

State handicap parking signs are made on rust-proof .080-inch aluminum with High Intensity Prismatic or Fluorescent reflective sheeting, in standard 12x18 and larger sizes.
