    Default Public School Property Handicap Parking Enforcement in Indiana

    My question involves a traffic ticket from the state of: Indiana

    Having some troubles with search, pretty much anywhere, but trying to find some answers. In Indiana, in a public school parking lot, who is responsible for enforcement? If a school directs it's staff to block handicapped parking with traffic cones in the morning to "help flow of traffic", who can one speak to when the school refuses to open these spots? I know there is an ADA violation the police aren't responsible for, but is there a traffic violation for impeding the use of these spots?

    Most states are pretty clear that a public school is public property, therefore, if the school won't make the spots accessible, then the police can intervene, but I can't find anything specific in Indiana's code about traffic violations on school property.

    TIA!

    The police enforce the handicap parking just as they would anywhere else.

    You are likely to find the police reluctant to do anything if allowing the spaces to be used does cause traffic issues.

    If the police do demand the school allow you to use the spaces, don’t complain if you find yourself in a position where you are blocked into the space and cannot get out until the traffic subsides. The police aren’t going to be able to help you there. There is no law mandating the school stop traffic to allow you to leave the space once you park in it.
