Legal Question in Traffic Law in California

Handicapped Parking
My place of employment has old handicapped parking spaces that have no signs and the pavement paint is old and worn out and hardly visible and does not conform to the State of California requirements. They have an abundance (more than needed) of spots that are newly painted with signs all around the campus, just not these two spots. I have been parking in these poorly marked spots for months and our own security dept has even acknowledged that these two spots do not conform to California requirements. Here is their message. �While we understand that the marking on the spot doesn�t meet State of California requirements � the ability to restrict parking on this site is a private matter. These spots were not meant to be State approved, but are used by Security and HR for employee�s who need them. Just like our car-pool, 10 minute, etc, we expect all employees to obey the signs. I do realize that this space is hard to see and that will be address. Please refrain from parking in any space which is not for general site use.� My Question: What can I do to argue this, if any? Do I have any legs to stand on to maintain my right to continue to park there? Can I verify if this site parking does or does not need to be state approved?

Re: Handicapped Parking

Your employer ownes the parking lot and can control where individuals park so long as they do not violate any laws.
