Customer Parking Permit Required Signs
Customer Parking Permit Required Signs show drivers that customer spaces are controlled by permit use. They help site owners, shops, offices and private premises reduce parking confusion, protect customer access and make permit-only parking rules clear before vehicles stop.
Best places to position this sign
You should install this sign at car park entrances, customer bays, permit-controlled rows and approach points where drivers decide whether to park. Clear visibility matters because drivers need to understand the permit rule before leaving the vehicle.
Viewing distance guidance
Choose the larger size where drivers approach from further away or where the sign competes with parked vehicles, fencing or entrance clutter. Use the smaller size for close-range bay identification.
| Size option | Practical viewing distance | Best use |
|---|---|---|
| H 400 x W 300mm | Up to around 5–8 metres | Individual bays and close approach points |
| H 600 x W 400mm | Up to around 8–15 metres | Entrances, wider parking areas and longer approaches |
Expected safety outcomes after installation
This sign helps change driver behaviour at the point of decision. By making the customer permit requirement clear, you reduce accidental misuse, challenge repeat parking problems and support smoother site control.

Installation Guidance
❌ Do not hide the sign behind parked vehicles, bins, shrubs, pillars or entrance furniture.
❌ Do not place it only after the driver has already entered and chosen a space.
❌ Do not mount it so low that headlights, pedestrians or parked cars block the message.
❌ Do not rely on it for public highway parking controls or council-managed restrictions.
❌ Do not use it where the site has no permit system for customer parking.
❌ Do not use one small sign to cover a wide car park with several separate parking rows.
✅ Position signs at the entrance and repeat them near controlled customer spaces.
✅ Face the sign towards the driver’s natural approach, not squarely away from traffic flow.
✅ Use fixings suited to the material, surface and exposure, especially for outdoor mounting.
Frequently asked questions
Are Customer Parking Permit Required Signs suitable for private car parks? Yes. They are best used where customer spaces are controlled by permits and drivers need a clear instruction before parking.
Should I choose the 600 x 400mm or 400 x 300mm size? Use 600 x 400mm for entrances, wider parking areas and longer approaches. Use 400 x 300mm where drivers are already close to the bay or wall.
Will this sign stop unauthorised parking on its own? It helps make the rule clear, but it should sit alongside your wider parking process, such as permits, site checks or managed enforcement where applicable.
Can I fit this to a fence or post? Yes, it can be wall mounted, post mounted or wire fence mounted, provided you use suitable fixings for the chosen material and surface.
Is the blue parking symbol an EN ISO 7010 safety pictogram? No. This is a parking information sign, so no EN ISO 7010 safety code applies to the parking “P” symbol.

Customer and visitor permit parking links
For guest parking areas, choose visitor parking permit required signs where short-stay drivers still need authorisation. Useful for receptions, clinics, offices and managed visitor bays.
If staff parking is separate, use employee parking permit signs to avoid mixed messages. Helpful when customer spaces and employee bays are close together.
For staff-only wording, compare staff parking permit signs where your site uses staff rather than employee wording. A practical match for schools, offices and workplace parking areas.
For more options, view customer and visitor parking permit signs to choose the clearest message. This helps you guide the right drivers into the right spaces.
