Are there handicap zones that DON'T have signs with an image of a wheelchair? That might be the federal standard sign for ANY handicap zone.

Would your special handicap zone for golf carts be closer to the building? Certainly, using a golf cart doesn't lessen their handicap to where they could park farther away. How about those in cars, would they feel it is fair that they have to park farther away in order to make room for golf cart-only handicap spots?

Perhaps there is a need for more wheelchair-accessible spots or more handicap spots overall but creating an entirely new class of reserved spots will just cause more problems.
