Disabled Parking Rules in CaliforniaDo I have to pay meter fees when displaying a disability plate or disability placard in California?
Once you have a valid DP placard or DP License Plates, you may park:
In parking spaces with the International Symbol of Access (wheelchair symbol). Next to a blue curb authorized for persons with disabilities parking. Next to a green curb (green curbs indicate limited time parking) for as long as you wish. In an on-street metered parking space at no charge. In an area that indicates it requires a resident or merchant permit. In addition to parking privileges, service stations must refuel a disabled person’s vehicle at self-service rates unless the service facility has only one employee on duty.
