Disabled people face challenges accessing public spaces and parking if wheelchair access is blocked. A sign in Romania said "If you took my place, take my disability as well" to express the frustration of lacking accessible parking or facilities. We should be considerate of disabled people's needs for independent mobility and inclusion in the community.
