State law requires all major shopping centers to allocate handicapped parking spaces. The Village is responsible for enforcement of this requirement. The County provides handicapped permits. There is handicapped parking available in Village parking lots, at the train station and at Southgate Shopping Center on Merrick Road. These spaces are marked with either blue striping on the road or a sign or both.
Parking is restricted in front of many homes in the area of the railroad station.
These areas are easily identified by the restriction signs. State law prohibits parking within 20 feet of corners. Throughout the Village there are many corners where there are no signs, but the law is in effect nevertheless. There are signs at highly trafficked corners, and in some cases the restriction may be more than 20 feet.
