A fine or one month in jail for breaking the disabled parking law

 
 
 

The Ministry of Interior (MoI) has issued a reminder to drivers about the importance of adhering to parking regulations, particularly when it comes to spaces designated for individuals with disabilities. The Ministry's official account on the X platform emphasized the necessity of following these laws to ensure that people with disabilities have access to the parking spaces they need.

Legal Consequences for Unauthorized Parking

The reminder specifically highlights Article 63 of Law No. 8 of 2010, which stipulates penalties for anyone found unlawfully parking in spaces reserved for people with disabilities. According to this law, violators could face:

  • Imprisonment for up to one month
  • fine of up to 100 dinars
  • Or both penalties applied together

This legal framework aims to protect the rights of people with disabilities and ensure they can access designated spaces without obstruction.

Encouraging Thoughtful Parking Choices

The Ministry urges all drivers to carefully consider their parking decisions and avoid taking up spaces meant for those who need them the most. By respecting these spaces, drivers contribute to a more inclusive and supportive environment for everyone.
