Recommended materials
We offer a range of parking signs to suit your specific needs. For car park signs, we recommend materials, which are durable, weather-resistant, and good for indoor and outdoor use.
Aluminium
The number one choice for durability and longevity. Aluminium is highly resistant to rust, corrosion, and fading, making it perfect for outdoor use in all weather conditions. It’s lightweight yet strong, ensuring that your signs remain intact and visible for years. This material is ideal for high-traffic areas and harsh environments.
Plastic
A versatile and cost-effective option. Plastic signs are resistant to impact, fading, and moisture, making them suitable for both indoor and outdoor use. They’re lightweight and easy to install, and offer great flexibility in terms of design. Plastic is ideal for environments that require frequent repositioning or temporary signage.
Vinyl (Decal)
Vinyl decals are a great choice for businesses or locations that need affordable, customizable, and easy-to-apply signs. They are highly flexible and can conform to various surfaces, including walls, windows, and vehicles. Vinyl resists scratches, fading, and weather. This makes it a great choice for both short-term and long-term use.
Every material has its own benefits. Whether you need a strong outdoor sign or a flexible indoor decal, we have the right solution for your parking sign needs.
Different types of parking signs
Parking signs and can be said to fulfil different functions.
Parking permitted
The most common parking signage indicates where drivers are permitted to park their vehicle. In the UK, a parking permitted sign typically uses the blue circular sign with a P symbol in the middle. The "P" stands for Parking, and the blue color signifies that parking is allowed under specific conditions.
No parking signs
It's forbidden to park in some places and so a sign can serve to keep unwanted vehicles away. In that case, you might need a sign that says 'No parking' or 'Controlled parking zone.' You could also use a sign that displays the hours when parking is not allowed.
No parking signs are used to keep unwanted vehicles out of restricted areas. Common signs include "No Parking," "Controlled Parking Zone," or signs specifying hours when parking is prohibited.
Legal use: No parking signage can be installed where allowed by law. It’s not permitted in public places that are open to everyone.
Designated areas: These signs can be placed at public entrances, reserved parking spots for authorized vehicles, or in areas to prevent road blockages.
Private properties: No parking signs are commonly used on private residences and garages to prevent unauthorized parking 24/7.
Private parking signs
Private parking signs have a number of uses and styles. Firstly, there is the simple ‘Private – No Parking sign, which is usually found at the entrance to a road or garage. It is often red and white. The message is clear and easy to see.
Other car park signs may give more explicit information such as the fact that the garage is in use, the road is narrow or that some car parking spaces are private for residents only. Other signage gives more information about restricted areas or time limits.
For example a resident might need an only parking sign. In some instances, there may also be consequences if a person does park in this area. If this is the case then it is necessary for the sign to state this. Punishments usually involve the offending car being towed at the expense of the car’s owner.
Disabled parking signs
Our Disabled Parking signs clearly show the International Symbol of Accessibility. This helps drivers tell the difference between spaces open to everyone and those reserved for disabled permit holders.
Disabled parking must be clearly marked. This helps prevent confusion and ensures drivers do not mix up disabled spaces with other nearby spaces. Such a mistake could result in a shortage of spaces for disabled permit holders.
Parking lot number signs
Marking out parking spaces clearly with a number makes it easier for drivers to find the right space. One option is also to include the registration plate number on the parking sign. Another option is to mark the parking spaces with the house number.
