What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? NJ
Got a ticket on a parking space on the street where the sign was recently changed and it got converted to a handicapped parking space. I have been parking on that same space off and on for almost a year and out of habit parked on it one night when returning from work when i saw it vacant. Now i know how it was still vacant!!! at 8:30 p.m. Anyhow, Is there any clause in a situation like this whereby the ticket can be dismissed or at the least reduced? It's a $250 first offense. Just to reiterate a couple of points, exact same space got converted by simply replacing the vertical sign on the street, there was no new marking on the ground to indicate a handicapped parking space... in other words, everything else about that space is exactly the same except the sign!!
