A. 
Handicapped parking spaces. Handicapped parking spaces shall be those spaces which are identified with a clearly visible sign displaying the international symbol of the handicapped along with the wording "Handicapped Parking Only," and a designation of the penalty for violation shall be placed on the sign or parking space.

B. 
Only handicapped persons may park in designated areas. No person shall park, stop or stand a motor vehicle any time in an area designated as reserved for the benefit of physically handicapped individuals unless such person is a handicapped person or is driving such handicapped person for the handicapped person's benefit. Display of a handicapped person slip, special license plates or special vehicle identification cards shall entitle the vehicle to park in a handicapped parking spot.
C. 
Notice of violation.
(1) 
Prior to the issuance of any summons, the officer or other designated person shall place on the vehicle a notice of intention to issue a summons. The notice shall advise the vehicle operator that, unless satisfactory explanation is made within 10 days to the Paulsboro Police Department as to why that motor vehicle was so placed in a space reserved for handicapped persons, a summons for a parking violation, as defined by this ordinance, shall issue. Such notice shall be in such form as to enable the operator of the motor vehicle to insert his explanation.
(2) 
In the event that the motorist shall fail to reply on the notice form provided or in the event that the explanation given evidences violation of this section, the officer or designated person shall cause a summons to be issued for violation of this section.
