Wheelchairs are not needed for a disability plac. Disability parking spots are for two types of disability. People needing more room with a wheelchair and those people who can’t walk far because of their disability…crippled with a cane or walker, severe heart conditions, breathing disabilities, etc. that can’t walk across a parking lot for any distance.
