You have a disability placard. May you park where your car blocks part of a curb cut (the ramp in the curb)?
The rule
Don't park in front of or block any part of a curb cut (the ramp in the curb), even with a disability plate or placard.
Leaving your car where it blocks even part of a curb cut can get you a citation, placard or not.
From the Maryland Driver's Manual, Section 9, page 49. This question is our own wording of that rule. The handbook and the MVA have the final word.
