Connecticut-Specific Signs
Built to meet Connecticut requirements.
Connecticut Accessible Parking Sign Requirements
Connecticut is one of the few states that requires the Dynamic Accessibility Symbol — the forward-leaning, "active" wheelchair icon — on accessible parking signage instead of the traditional static symbol. That makes Connecticut accessible signs visually different from the standard federal sign.
Every accessible parking space must display the federal "Reserved Parking" sign (MUTCD R7-8) showing the International Symbol of Accessibility. Van-accessible spaces need an added "Van Accessible" plaque, and the bottom of each sign must sit at least 60 inches (5 feet) above the ground so it stays visible above a parked vehicle.
Tow-away enforcement
To tow an unauthorized vehicle from private property in Connecticut, the lot must post a compliant tow-away sign at each entrance under Connecticut General Statutes Section 14-145, typically including the towing company name and phone number. Missing or non-compliant signage can void the tow.
