ORLANDO, Fla. – News 6 traffic safety expert Trooper Steve Montiero answers viewer questions about the rules of the road every week, helping Orlando-area residents become better drivers by being better educated.
Thursday’s question was, “Can I use my disabled parking decal from South Carolina to park over at Cape Canaveral Cruise Terminal?”
If you’re traveling through or residing in Florida, it’s important to know the state’s regulations regarding disabled parking. The good news is that Florida offers convenient access to parking for individuals with disabilities, whether you’re a resident or a visitor.
In Florida, it is legal to park in any designated disabled parking spot as long as you display a valid disabled parking decal. This applies not only to Florida-issued permits but also to those from any other state, as long as the decal is in good standing.
This inclusive policy ensures that individuals with mobility challenges can access accessible parking no matter where they’re from.
If you hold a valid disabled parking permit, you can confidently use the designated spots across the state. However, remember to always display your decal clearly to avoid fines or penalties.
Safe travels, and enjoy all that Florida has to offer!
