Límites de estacionamiento para vehículos de personas con discapacidad

Explicación Simple

Si tienes un vehículo que ayuda a una persona con discapacidad, puedes estacionar en lugares especiales. Además, tienes un poco más de tiempo para estacionar, incluso si hay un límite de horas, pero hay algunas reglas que debes seguir.

Es como tener un pase especial para un parque de diversiones. Puedes entrar a las áreas donde otros no pueden y, a veces, puedes quedarte más tiempo en ciertas atracciones.

Ejemplo Práctico

Imagina que María lleva a su hermana Ana, que tiene una discapacidad, a un centro comercial. María estaciona su auto en un lugar reservado y, aunque el límite de tiempo es de dos horas, ella puede quedarse dos horas más porque está ayudando a Ana.
