Placards allow vehicles to park in designated areas.
Drivers display placards from their vehicle's rearview mirrors.
There are two types of placards available to permanently disabled persons. A red placard is issued to all permanently disabled persons who do not qualify for mobility-impaired status as defined by statute. Placards are often issued to those who display disabled parking license plates. Many choose at least one placard. The proof may be a notarized form from the applicant's physician or a written prescription clearly defining the nature of the disability.
