b++ Accessibility Quote of the Month
You know the real-life accessibility, right? I’m not talking about web accessibility, I’m talking about parking spots for people with disabilities and ramps for wheelchairs, which the most of the major cities around the world provide. It’s however not very rare that some rednecks take away designated parking spot or leave a car in front of the ramp. Assholes…
Few weeks ago, I walked around the down-town and spotted a terrific traffic sign:
It’s the usual set of signs—especially this threat that the car will be removed if inappropriately parked (i.e. the owner is not the one with disability or handicapped). But, what’s pretty unusual (at least to me) is the yellow board which says:
“If you took away my spot, will you also take away my handicap?”

Hehe, that’s great! But, I somehow doubt that people who park on places reserved for physically handicapped persons understand that. Where is this sign, BTW?

I took this one in Đorđićeva street, but these are at almost every parking lot in the downtown of Zagreb.

About one year ago, there has been a commercial campaign on TV with the same slogan, here in France.
