In a recent study, Danish people are the happiest in the world. With that in mind, I thought it was especially interesting how well they take care of all different types of people in their country. A handicapped driver is assigned an exact parking spot----that's someone's license tag number on a sign next to their specific spot on a big road. I think this would be in front of their apartment, and then there are loads of general handicapped spaces downtown and near the shops.
Not sure how well this will show up, but all the roads have bike lanes---one in either direction. Tons of people cycle too---from 5 year olds to 90 year olds can be seen pedalling along. As a driver, it is really hard to drive having to constantly look over your shoulder if you want to turn right. But it's great for the bikers and encourages people to drive less.

Not exactly sure how the handicap parking works. Is it for the space by your apartment? What do you do about stores?
They have general handicapped spaces (that are not assigned to anyone specifically) in the grocery store parking lots and near other types of shops. I'll fix that in the blog...... Connie, you would have been impressed with the accessibility of this country!
