# Who Can Park in Purple Parking Spaces? The Meaning Behind Those Unusual Spots
Yesterday, I witnessed something in a parking lot that left me completely confused.
I was out with my children when I noticed a heated argument taking place between two adults near a row of parked cars. At first, I didn’t pay much attention. People disagree in parking lots all the time.
Maybe someone had taken another person’s space.
Maybe there had been a minor accident.
Maybe someone was upset about a shopping cart.
But then I heard a woman loudly telling a man that he needed to move his vehicle immediately.
Her reason?
She said he was parked in a **purple parking space**.
The man didn’t appear particularly concerned.
Instead, he told her that he knew what he was doing and that he had every right to park there.
The woman continued insisting that he was in the wrong.
