Application for a Disabled Persons' Parking Place

Guidance Notes


The Disabled Persons' Parking Place will only be created where is does not affect safe and efficient Traffic Management in the immediate area.

The layout of the Disabled Persons' Parking Place will be subject to the agreement of Police Scotland.

The operation of a Disabled Persons' Parking Place is controlled by a Traffic Regulation Order which prohibits parking except by vehicles which display a Disabled Person’s Badge.

The Parking Place is not allocated to a specific person and may be used by anyone who has a Disabled Person’s Badge.

The applicant must inform Roads and Transportation when the Parking Place is no longer required.

The process of creating a Parking Place by means of a Traffic Regulation Order takes 9-12 months.
