## 🚗 The Ethics of Using These Spaces

Because handshake-designated spaces are often less strictly regulated, they rely heavily on **driver awareness and courtesy**.

This raises an important question:

**Should you park in a handshake space if you don’t need assistance?**

Legally, the answer may vary. But ethically, the answer is clearer.

These spaces are intended for people who need **extra time, space, or help**. Using them without need can:

* Limit access for those who rely on them

* Create unnecessary stress for vulnerable individuals

* Undermine the purpose of inclusive design

In other words, it’s not just about rules—it’s about respect.
