Meters and disabled placards
Do I have to pay the meter with a disabled placard?
Could not confirm from an official page. The WYDOT page we opened does not address meters, and meter rules are often local. Check the meter or local signs.

Disabled parking placards
Who can get a disabled parking placard, and are other states' placards honored?
WYDOT issues placards on a physician or advanced practice registered nurse certification. Permanent placards require Wyoming residency; non-residents who qualify get a temporary placard. We could not confirm whether other states' placards are honored.
- A temporary placard is valid up to 6 months and can be renewed once for another 6 months.

Time limits and overtime
How long can I stay in a time-limited space, and what happens if I overstay?
Time limits are set by cities and towns, not statewide. Example city: Casper limits downtown parking to two hours per space or block face on weekdays, and that limit also applies to most handicap spaces.
- Example city: Casper. The two-hour limit applies 8:00 AM to 5:00 PM on weekdays.
- Casper's page says the limit includes handicap parking unless the space is a permanent, reserved space.
- Other Wyoming cities and towns set their own limits; check posted signs.
