Huge jump in parking spaces for disabled
Roadside parking spaces for disabled drivers will jump dramatically from just 40 to more than 1,000 by the end of this year.
Plans by the Beijing Traffic Management Bureau call for making those spots available this year, although no timetable has been announced.
City regulations say that 2 per cent of parking spaces has to be reserved for the disabled, so with Beijing having 64,000 curbside parking spaces, there should be at least 1,280 disabled spaces, Beijing Evening News said.
