There’s courtesy parking for expectant mothers and families with infants (we usually call it stroller parking) and it’s not enforced but always respected. I’ve seen more people (who aren’t allowed) park in handicapped spots than stroller parking. Lots of assholes don’t care about disabled persons but respect for mothers seems to be universal, at least where I live.
We’ve got a little one right now and it’s so nice to be able to park in stroller parking. I also appreciate that lots of people make sure I have a baby when I park. I’ve seen lots of people stop and watch me park and get out, then see I’m getting a stroller out of my car, and then they carry on.
One time I got called racist for asking someone to move their car after I noticed they we parked in a handicap space without a tag. Incidentally, they just happened to be black.
I didn’t attribute any causality to their race; anyone can be selfish and inconsiderate enough to park in a handicap space, and I would have asked them to move no matter what race they were.
But apparently if they’re black then that means they should be able to get away with anything they want and anyone who calls them out for it is racist. Cause it’s not like anyone could possibly have any reason other than racism to ask someone to move out of a handicap space, right? It’s not like disabled people are systemically disadvantaged and marginalized, right? Oh…
I’ve also been called racist for telling a guy to leave a woman alone when he was clearly harassing her and ignoring her repeatedly telling him to stop it and go away…
It is. It’s not a legal thing like handicap stickers. Whether or not it is respected is up to the individual parking

Yeah, they are more respected than the handicap spots where I live too. I appreciated the spots when my kids were still in arms/strollers for sure.
