Why should the wheelchair ones get all the representation? It's time for hookhand ones to get the spotlight.

In May 2015, the Federal Highway Administration rejected the new design for use on signs in the United States, citing the fact that it has not been adopted or endorsed by the U.S. Access Board, the agency responsible for developing the federal criteria for accessible design. The International Standards Organization, which established the regular use of the original symbol under ISO 7001, has also rejected the new design.[11]

gee i wonder why

maybe because it's a sign the whole point of which is sending a message about things other than traffic rules and directions, which by definition makes it unfit to be a road sign or disability access indicator?

Hey, look. Look, if- if you screw me on this, I shall become more powerful than you can possibly imagine, you rat bastard!
it needs to be redesigned to broaden what covers handicapped. Are you using a wheelchair? Motorized Wheelchair? Walker? Cane? Have muscle/nervous/cardiopulminary issues? Honestly sort of surprised they haven't created sub-categories, yet, to restrict spaces exclusively to specific conditions, as a lot of stores have 'new moms/expectant mother' restricted parking.

I saw a pair of women with handicap tags on their cars getting into a shouting match with one another over their conditions and why it was inappropriate for one of them to take a space because their condition wasn't as serious/visible as the others.

We should show every kind of disability humanly possible on that sign. A block of hundreds of 0.5cmx0.5cm pictograms and some 4 point text on the bottom will ensure the public understands the sign.

With the new handicap symbol people won't feel as bad if they park in a handicap spot.

I mean if we don't encourage wheelchair races, how can we bet on wheelchair races?

"Some disability rights activists believe the new symbol implies prejudice toward people with serious disabilities.

"The old symbol leaves everything up to the imagination," said Cathy Ludlum, a Connecticut disability rights activist who has a neuromuscular disorder and controls her motorized wheelchair by using three fingers. "The new symbol seems to say that independence has everything to do with the body, which it isn't. Independence is who you are inside.""

Yeah this was another thought i had when I saw the new symbol, like it seems like it would almost be even more discriminatory to the least mobile of handicapped people. Imagine waking up in a hospital bed after a horrific accident paralyzed from the neck down and getting rolled in a wheelchair past one of these updated signs.

imagine getting bullied by wheelchair jocks. i mean dudes in wheelchairs that can almost use stairs WITHOUT impediment. guys who can go up hills almost as ably as they roll down them. dudes who are always banging hot wheelchair babes. drat. that has got to suck
