These aren't in any particular order except the order I found them in.

 

10. Um, yeah.  I'm betting they could take out the word "wheelchair" and be even more accurate.

9. This one falls squarely into "wait, WHAT?" territory.

8. Evidently, it's now a "Wheeeeeee!"chair.

7. And this is a bad thing?

6. Yes, this one is real.  It's made the rounds on the Internet before, but I'd be remiss if I didn't add it here.

5. I have no idea what's supposed to be going on in this sign, but I don't think the guy in the wheelchair likes being kicked around in a little ball.

4. I know this sign wasn't designed this way, but it's still cute.  There's a reason I love white-out pens.

3. This one should be a lot more common than it is.  (I like that the guy's using a hiking stick.)

2. I get the feeling somebody's fed up with people who don't need it taking his or her parking space.  The English translation: "If you take my parking space, please also take my disability."  (The French word "handicap" doesn't have quite the same baggage as it does in English.)

1. This one made me literally laugh out loud.  And now I kind of want to find out who designed the sign.

    I LOVED THEM ALL! Hard to choose a favorite but since I am 'crippled' myself I think I like the French parking space one and the wheelchair accesible hiking trail most of all. But that one of the marked in flower --- made me wanna cry! HAPPY tears!
