There is some discussion by @rneubauer to have language that is currently used on signs reflected in these well known values.

That might include the word 'disabilities', but not sure. Also has your recommended 'ACCESSIBLE' term used as part of 'VAN ACCESSIBLE'.

Here is the list from MUTCD that was mentioned:

• NO PARKING ANY TIME (R7-1);
• NO PARKING X:XX AM TO X:XX PM (R7-2, R7-2a);
• NO PARKING EXCEPT SUNDAYS AND HOLIDAYS (R7-3);

ADA definitions for accessible parking can be found here - note that there are different requirements for "van accessible" and "car accessible".

I think we should just change the term handicap-accessible to accessible (which is broader than just wheelchair-accessible or van-accessible). Would like to get this worked out ASAP today/tomorrow for the patch release this week. Still need a PR for this.

[schnuerle]

I think for this patch we change the well known term handicap-accessible to accessible. @mplsmitch can you make a PR for this please?

Closed with #160 for the 1.0.1 patch. If anyone wants to try to align all the user classes to MUTCD field per the comment above, please open a new issue for a future release.

Interesting Idea on the MUTCD. That would definitely "standardize" things with Sign Text Extraction. I will create a new case for it.
