Description

Two recently installed handicap parking signs on the east side of Imlay Street (near Farmington Ave) are directly facing the street, rather than facing the direction of traffic like signs usually are (which would make the signs perpendicular to the street).

Because the signs are facing outward to the street, it is unclear which street parking spots are considered to be in the handicap zone. The signs could be interpreted to mean either (a) 2 parking spots, (b) a wide "zone" of handicap parking that includes 3 spots, or (c) an even wider "zone" of handicap parking that includes 4 spots (see photos and diagram attached).

Please either (a) rotate the signs to be perpendicular to the street to clearly mark which two spots are handicap spots, or (b) clarify that the two signs are intended to mark a wide "zone" of handicap parking that is intended for more than two cars.

People are avoiding parking anywhere near the signs because it is ambiguous which zones are handicap spots. Thank you.
