Are the handicapped parking lines in your area blue or yellow?

Yellow here in BC, Your welcome.

Yellow or white

They are blue here. Both the lines and the signs. My grandparents are disabled so I see the handicap parking spaces a lot.

Blue. I thought that blue was the standard adopted nationwide upon implementation of the ADA.

That’s what prompted the question. Someone on FB called me an idiot when I said ours were yellow.

They are whatever color the rest of the lines are here. But normally there is a meter by meter blue paint with a white wheelechare logo like this.

Usually blue. Maybe they are white sometimes? I’m not sure. That seems vaguely familiar too, but I might be thinking of a different state.

Edited by me.

NY and CT they’re blue. MA too.

I hadn’t noticed them being different colors. I think they’re generally white, with a wheelchair symbol and/or a sign nearby (white wheelchair I think usually over a blue background).

I’ve only really seen what @johnpowell and @Zaku described. The white ♿ and blie background are usually painted on the ground in the space, and/or in a small sign at the “top” of the space, and/or the curb’s painted blue.

I associate yellow painted lines with two-way traffic (the yellow line(s) in the center), and yellow painted curbs with loading/unloading zones or staff parking—which I guess is good, since I still wouldn’t park there, so it’d stay open for whoever needs it.

I’ve seen blue, yellow, and white lines. I think sometimes they change businesses, and just add, or take away spots, but don’t necessarily change the lines. If there is a rule that they have to be blue, it is ignored or poorly enforced.

Charleston, SC.

They are white, with a big wheelchair symbol on it.

Texas here. On public land, it’s blue lines, but on private land, apparently the lines can be any color, and the handicap sign is what designates a handicap spot. I’m guessing this would be true anywhere.

Anyone who would call you “an idiot” for stating that handicap spots in your state are painted a different color than those in their state clearly has too much time on their hands.

And they might be an idiot too!

Well, it’s a matter of being educated all the way around. She was incorrect to tell me it was federally mandated that the lines HAVE to be blue. The line color is up to each state. The HC signs must have a blue back ground.
As stupid as it sounds I never really thought very deeply about the hatch marked spaces around handicap parking slots. I just knew they mean not to park there. Half a second worth of thought would have told me what they were for. But to be honest, it seems like most HC vans here have entry and exit from the rear. Or I just don’t pay enough attention.

Los Angeles—blue.

@Dutchess_III The handicap sign is white and blue, but the parking lot line for it are yellow at least here in BC.

I noticed a few stores in one nearby town where they do have blue lines, might be Gatesville, not sure. But the stripes are yellow in most communities. Central Texas area here. IH-35 corridor.
