Handicap Parking

A search only found details about handicap spaces but NO discussion discussion along these lines.
I see what you mean; I’m not finding information that addresses your question, either. This makes me assume that New Jersey’s plates apply only to the marked blue spaces, that there are no special dispensations for No Parking areas. Which would jibe with this, from NYC:
https://portal.311.nyc.gov/article/?kanumber=KA-01243
It notes that the access that your friend used is a city-only option, and implies that the New York State tags and placard apply only to marked spaces.
This is a Westfield link, but the brochure is state of NJ. Info at bottom of 3rd page may be useful. If i'm reading it right, it looks like...
No parking in "No Parking" places.
Have to put coins in meter, if any.
Permitted to overstay time limits (at least at meters), up to 24 hr.
I know it’ll possibly be out-dated, but if you search JTA’s posts on parking, she might have addressed this. It was a hot topic of hers, since non-permitted drivers often ‘stole’ much-needed accessible bays.
"No Parking" means NO parking. Parking restrictions in front of a church, hospital, fire hydrant and so forth are established to avoid hazards to the public and are meant to apply to all. files

As Apollo_T noted, NYC has exceptions. From the link I posted:
The NYC Parking Permit for People with Disabilities (PPPD) is a placard that allows you to park at "No Parking" zones on public streets and at parking meters without depositing money.

Does this also apply to vehicles with handicapped plates only or is it necessary to display a handicapped placard in addition to the plates? Issue being that anyone could be driving a vehicle with handicapped plates while the placard signifies that a passenger or driver in the vehicle is handicapped.

If I understand you correctly, the "handicapped" (now termed accessible) tag or plate is the same. The difference is that a person with a disability ("person first") can transfer a tag to any car they are in. The plates are stationary. There are also two types of tags: permanent and ones that have to be renewed every three years.
I recently got handicap plates and I have a question. Are we allowed to park in areas that others are not allowed to use?
One example would be like a friend who occasionally went into NYC. There was never regular parking available, so he parked in front of a church. NYC permits this for folks with handicap plates. There are other examples.
