A major part of the problem is getting the providers of parking
spaces for disabled drivers - to get better estimates.

I think that stating the space is for Ambulances AND disabled
drivers might be the trick.

Secondly, perhaps the number of spaces could be calculated by the
number of Placards registered in that district.

I'm seeing a new type of abuse now.

Is it happening in your area?  In providing services for disabled
people, non-disabled drivers can now have Placards, stating they
are are providing services for disabled people.

I assume that this means that they are transporting the one
person to & from that parking space.   But I haven't seen yet
whether this is actually the case, in all circumstance that these
placards are used.
