New Mexico-Specific Signs
Built to meet New Mexico requirements.
New Mexico Accessible Parking Sign Requirements
New Mexico follows the federal ADA Standards for accessible parking, enforced alongside the state's own vehicle code and private-property towing law. Here is what every New Mexico lot needs to post.
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 New Mexico, the lot must post a compliant tow-away sign at each entrance under New Mexico Administrative Code Section 18.3.12.14, typically including the towing company name and phone number. Missing or non-compliant signage can void the tow.
