Is it legal to park in a handicap parking space if you do not have a placard?

Accessible parking spaces are reserved for vehicles that display a disability placard or license plate. Without that placard, you may not park in these spaces, even if you’re visiting from another state. The law treats these spaces as off-limits to anyone without a valid placard, and penalties like fines (and sometimes towing) can apply. If you do have a temporary permit, you must clearly display it to use the space; without any placard or permit, parking there isn’t legal.
