Blue Badge

The Blue Badge Scheme (previously called the Orange Badge Scheme) is an European arrangement of parking concessions for people who are disabled or who have severe walking difficulties. A blue badge is available to both drivers and passengers.

The European scheme is intended to allow badge holders (the person to whom the badge was issued), to park closer to their destination, although the national concessions only apply to on street parking.
