Illegally Parked Vehicles Will Be Towed Away Sign
The Illegally Parked Vehicles Will Be Towed Away Sign is a red and white no parking towing sign for site managers, landlords and facilities teams. It is used in car parks, yard entrances and access areas to make the parking rule clear before vehicles block movement or create disputes.
Best places to install this sign
You should install this sign at the decision point: entrance, restricted bay, gate, loading area or fence line. Drivers must see it before they stop, not after they have already parked, so keep it front-facing, unobstructed and at normal eye level where vehicles slow down.
Viewing distance guidance
Use the larger size where drivers approach from further away or from a vehicle. Treat these as practical placement distances, then adjust for lighting, angle, parked cars and site speed.
| Size option | Practical viewing distance | Best fit |
|---|---|---|
| H 400 x W 300 mm | Up to around 8–10 metres | Single bays, indoor car parks, pedestrian entrances |
| H 600 x W 400 mm | Up to around 12–15 metres | Yard gates, fence lines, wider car park approaches |
Expected safety outcomes after installation
Once installed clearly, the sign helps drivers make the right decision earlier. It reduces “I did not see it” arguments, supports consistent parking control and keeps your access points more usable during busy periods.

Installation Guidance
Frequently asked questions
Is the Illegally Parked Vehicles Will Be Towed Away Sign suitable for private car parks?Yes, it is suited to private car parks and controlled parking areas where you need drivers to see that parking is not permitted and that removal may follow under your site process.
Does this sign mean I can automatically tow a vehicle?No. It communicates your parking rule clearly, but you should only remove vehicles through a lawful, authorised process for your site.
Which size should I choose?Use H 400 x W 300 mm for closer viewing and H 600 x W 400 mm where drivers approach from further away, such as a yard entrance or wider car park approach.
Can this sign be used outdoors?Yes, the supplied display area is indoors/outdoors. Choose the material and mounting method that suits the surface, exposure and how permanent the installation needs to be.
Should I wall mount it or post mount it?Wall mounting works where the parking point sits beside a building or barrier. Post or wire fence mounting is better where drivers approach open boundaries or perimeter fencing.

Helpful alternatives for illegal parking control
For locations where no parking must be stated first, select no parking tow away warning signs to make the restriction and consequence clear together. Well suited to entrances, forecourts and shared access routes.
Where you need a stronger area-wide parking message, use no parking tow away area signs to discourage vehicles from stopping in controlled spaces. Useful when one warning needs to support wider site management.
For private land or allocated parking, consider unauthorised vehicles will be towed parking signs where access is limited to approved drivers. A sensible choice for car parks, residential areas and business premises.
To find the closest match for your wording, compare parking tow away notice signs across the full category. This helps you choose a clear warning without overcomplicating the message.
