Parking signs

It is also useful to make clear which spaces are reserved for disabled drivers and how long parking is permitted for. “No parking” signs keep unwanted guests away. Using the right parking sign in the right place creates orderly parking. Design your own personalized parking sign on our Design Page.

Three types of parking signs

Parking signs can be said to fulfil three different functions. It is useful to consider the purpose of your sign before ordering it. 

Parking

The most common parking sign indicates parking spaces – in other word, where drivers are permitted to park their vehicle. 

No parking

It is forbidden to park in some places and so a sign can serve to keep unwanted vehicles away. In that case, you may need a sign with a general prohibition such as “No parking” or a sign showing the hours of the day during which parking is not permitted.

Private parking

The third type of sign indicates who can park. Among these signs are “Private parking”, “Disabled parking” or “Staff parking” signs. 

Custom parking signs

In addition to the classic parking signs, it is possible to create your own custom parking sign. With a personal touch, a “Private parking” sign can be much nicer than just having a white P on a blue background. These signs are certainly perfect for public car parks, but P signs in private car parks can benefit from the personal touch.
