Could it be the world of computer and communications technology is coming to the rescue of people who require handicap parking?  The video below from Russia demonstrates a technology that could change the dynamics of handicap parking.  In this case, the solution doesn’t address the problems of too many permits or people using permits improperly. What it does address is the worst irritant of all: the people who ignore the signs and use handicap spaces for their personal convenience.  Take a look and see what you think.

That solution definitely gets in the face of those using handicap spaces without permits!

I’m not holding my breath for a massive investment needed to implement this solution either by government or the private sector.  It is comforting though to know that there is some effort underway to improve the lot of handicap parking users.
