The Village has put up large signs at all parking lot entrances with explanations of parking rules governing that lot. Color codes are used to ease recognition of controlled spaces. All lanes in Parking Field 1, west of Park Boulevard, are one-way. Restrictions are enforced by the Village. Cars with permits on the left rear bumper must be parked head-in for easy visibility of the permit.
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.
