To the best of my knowledge, the only benefit granted via a handicap pass is the ability to park in handicap marked parking stalls without risking a fine. It doesn't grant you a "you can park anywhere you want whenever you feel like it" power. If the signs you mention are "No Parking" and not "No Parking Except by Handicap Permit"...you can totally call Parking Authority on the vehicle. Especially as it's causing traffic issues.
