[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Are you for real? Where does it say handicapped stalls are to be immediately accessible, 24/7? Do people in wheelchairs never wait? [/quote]

People in wheelchairs on average wait longer than those that are not.  The reason is simple: If there are say 4 stalls in a bathroom, 3 normal and 1 handicapped, to the wheelchair user there is really only one stall.  It's like the other 3 don't exist.  So they must wait when that one handicapped stall is occupied even if all the other 3 are open.  For people that have the option to use all 4, they only have to wait when all 4 are occupied.[/quote]

Okay, so what happens when someone in a wheelchair is in the stall, and another person with a wheelchair shows up? Does the new arrival scream "I don't have to wait!" and get to kick out the occupant?  [/quote]

They wait while watching others come and go using the non-handicap stalls, when the other wheelchair user finishes, then they go in.[/quote]
