Bicycles Only Parking Signs
Bicycles Only Parking Signs identify parking spaces reserved for bikes, helping cyclists, visitors, staff and drivers understand where bicycles should be left. Use them beside cycle racks, shelters and shared parking areas to reduce misuse, improve flow and make the correct parking point clear at a glance.
Best places to position this bicycle parking sign
You should install this sign at the entrance to cycle parking, beside bike racks, on nearby walls, posts or suitable fencing. Visibility matters because cyclists and drivers need to understand the parking rule before bikes are left in the wrong place.
Viewing distance guidance
Choose the larger size where people approach from a car park lane or open outdoor area. The smaller size suits closer cycle racks, corridors and compact entrances where users read the sign from a few metres away.
| Size option | Practical viewing range | Best used for |
|---|---|---|
| H 150 x W 450mm | Approx. 3–6 metres | Close cycle racks, entrances and compact parking areas |
| H 200 x W 600 mm | Approx. 6–10 metres | Larger car parks, outdoor approaches and shared parking areas |
What should improve once the sign is fitted

Installation Guidance
❌ Do not fit the sign too low where parked bicycles can cover the wording.
❌ Do not place it behind bins, shrubs, barriers or parked vehicles.
❌ Do not rely on one sign if the cycle parking area has more than one approach.
❌ Do not use it to control motorcycles, scooters or general vehicle parking.
❌ Do not use it where you need a legal traffic restriction without checking the correct authority requirements.
❌ Do not install it where glare, poor lighting or long approach distance will make the message hard to read.
✅ Mount it facing the normal approach route so users see it before stopping.
✅ Use the larger size for wider outdoor areas and the smaller size for close cycle rack positions.
✅ Check the fixing method matches the surface, post or wire fence before ordering accessories.
Frequently asked questions
Are Bicycles Only Parking Signs suitable for visitor cycle parking? Yes. They are useful where you want visitors, staff or pupils to recognise a dedicated bicycle parking point without asking for directions.
Should I choose the 450mm or 600mm wide version? Use the 450mm wide size for close-range reading near racks. Choose the 600mm wide size where the sign needs to be seen sooner from an open car park or approach route.
Can this sign stop cars from parking in a bicycle space? It helps make the intended use clear, but it is not a substitute for physical layout, enforcement, bay markings or site rules where misuse is persistent.
Is this sign suitable for public roads? Treat it as a site parking information sign. For public highway use, you should check local authority or traffic signing requirements before installation.
Where should I place it for best results? Place it where the decision is made: at the cycle rack, bay entrance, shelter opening or approach point, not hidden behind parked bikes or vehicles.

Build a clearer cycle parking setup
For a simpler general message, choose bicycles parking signs where the main aim is to show where cycles should be left. Useful for visitor parking, staff facilities and everyday cycle stands.
If you need a matching sign for powered two-wheel spaces, compare with landscape motorbike parking signs in nearby motorcycle areas. This helps separate cycle and motorbike parking without confusing users.
For upright fixing positions, use upright motorbike parking signs where a portrait layout suits the available space. A good comparison point when you are standardising signs across a car park.
