Low Emission and Fuel Efficient Vehicles OnlyPublished January 14, 2010 @ 09:16 in Miscellaneous
I just wonder how they enforce it. Do they have a list of car makes and models that fit the bill? Does my '99 Mazda Protégé qualify?

I once asked a security guard about it, and I was told they can't actually enforce it, it's more like a suggestion. Chemmy We have those in my apartment complex's parking garage. It's one of the things that scores you points on the LEED criteria for how green a building is. People park their SUVs and their V8 sportscars there. It's stupid. Ikea installed those spots a few years back. They're painted green. Surprisingly, there weren't any hummers parked in it out of spite. Then again, I don't know how many spiteful people shop at Ikea... http://www.washtenawvoice.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/11/images_1109/lev.pdf

I spotted this sign at Mississauga's Square One mall. It's a parking spot reserved for "Low Emission and Fuel Efficient Vehicles Only".

Wouldn't it be greener to allow the high emission and fuel non-efficient cars the better spaces?
The Smart Car can drive around the parking lot and cause less of a foot print than the Hummer.
And as you said Mike, how can they honestly enforce this? I imagine that they can't (just like the expectant mother's parking spaces).
