Is it permitted to stop or park in a space reserved and signposted exclusively for people with reduced mobility?

Question

DentroTest · Accepted Answer

The correct answer is that neither stopping nor parking is allowed.  The General Traffic Regulations establish special protection for these zones. Unlike other prohibitions (such as driveways/dropped curbs where momentary stopping is allowed), in spaces reserved for people with reduced mobility, the prohibition is total. Why? These users need immediate availability of the space and often require a clear area around the vehicle to deploy ramps or transfer to a wheelchair. Occupying the space, even for less than two minutes (stopping), hinders this right. Penalty: It is considered a serious infraction punishable by a 200 euro fine.
