ABSTRACT
This chapter perpetuates the semiotics of parking debates over consumption and access. It explores parking policies that acknowledge women who park in their third trimester from a paradoxical triangle of governance between the women, her physician, and parking authorities. The chapter focuses on the tension involving access between the public and private property owners. Property is at the top of the hierarchy of social need with unqualified access to the beach through public parking areas at the lowly bottom rung. The built environment that is privately owned trumps the built environment of vehicular accommodation that provides public accessibility to beaches. If we think about the parking policy and the pub regulation, the construction of mothering is based upon the built environment of parking lots or pubs, which is policed through social channels of expertise designed as legal authority. Parking reflects the construction of social need in which vehicular accommodation is sponsored by consumerism.
