So people are aware: If you are handicapped, you CAN park in the striped lines. In many cases, it’s the only feasible option for that person to safely exit.
For example: If directly to the left of the spot is a wall and your vehicles’ automated ramp deploys to the left, they have to park in the stripes.
Adding insult to injury in this case, it’s possible the handicapped person can’t enter their fucking car.
Places that have specific security concerns with people being able to get away from the building fairly quickly seem to mandate backing in to the parking spots in my country.

Are you sure it’s legal? Why can’t you just back in if it’s on the wrong side?
Late response: Yes. You can’t back into a spot in a diagonal parking lot.
Reverse in? Like everyone should basically do anyway?
Yeah. I don’t know why this isn’t standard, it’s far safer than front in. You have less of a chance mowing down small children and animals.

Same. I have worked at facilities where the only parking allowed was facing out, or you would be towed.

So much this.
The hashed out area… that’s what it’s there for- its part of the accessible parking space.
