Inclusive for all
Geldrop-Mierlo wants to be an inclusive municipality. This also means that where possible, all residents should be able to use functions in the municipality at a realistic walking distance. Owners of a disabled parking permit may park for free and without restriction in special disabled parking spaces and in all paid on-street parking spaces. In streets where parking is prohibited, they may park for up to 3 hours.
Even non-owners of a disabled parking permit should be able to reach the center easily. So also elderly people who can walk less than 300 meters. Short-term parking close to stores and facilities should remain possible for them. People without access to a car must also be able to get to the stores. To this end, convenient bicycle facilities are created. The use of general disabled parking spaces will be permanently monitored and where necessary, parking spaces will be added, removed or relocated.
