20.18 One or more of the angled parking places may be reserved for the use of disabled badge holders. Each such bay is then widened to 3.6 m; the legend DISABLED may be added to each bay to help identify it. Standard width bays may indicate DOCTOR. The limit of the row of parking bays must be marked with the double terminal mark shown in diagram 1033; this is omitted where the limit is delineated by a raised kerb. The extended marks shown alongside the DISABLED legend are used to mark the limits of the DISABLED bay (or DOCTOR when so marked).
MARKING OF BAYS
20.19 The normal width of the lines outlining parking bays is 50 mm. This may be varied to 75 mm for greater emphasis or to reduce maintenance, or to 100 mm to accommodate the use of paving blocks in block-paved areas. Any legend should be marked outside the bay and with the correct orientation to be read by a passing driver (see figure 20-7). The transverse line may be omitted where the marking is placed in a layby or where the end of the bay is delineated by a raised kerb (see figure 20-7).
