Sign still there in Norfolk, at least the main commisary. I've never seen
one use it either (handicapped or pregnant), but I have occasionally seen
folks politely pass them up ahead a bit before they get to there the rope
lines are too thin to pass. Thats, if they are obviously 'about to pop' or
using a walker/wheelchair and look like they could use a hand.

BTW, they don't have special parking for the women with kids or advanced
pregancy there.
