Handicapped placards are a very serious offense.
Nita Rabe-Uyeno, parking administrator Warning period over for perimeter parking By Erin Mayes Daily staff writer W hen new parking spots located around the perimeter of campus were introduced last semester, officers from San Jose's Streets and Traffic Department did not issue citations, and instead gave out warnings to inform violators of the new parking situation. This semester is a different story. The warning period is over and drivers who fail to meet the terms on the signs next to these spots are being ticketed. Nita Rabe-Uyeno, a parking administrator for the Streets and Traffic Department, couldn't say how many citations were being given out, but she did say quite a few are being issued. Rabe-Uyeno said there seems to be an abundance of fake permits and handicapped placards this semester.
