No Parking Signs
No Parking Signs tell drivers that vehicles must not be left in a restricted space. They help you protect gates, loading bays, fire routes, private entrances and workplace access points by making the instruction visible before obstruction causes delay, conflict or risk.
Where No Parking Signs Should Be Fitted
You should install No Parking Signs where a parked vehicle would block movement, delay deliveries or restrict access. Place them at eye level on gates, walls, fences or doors so drivers see the instruction before choosing to stop.
Choosing a Readable Viewing Distance
Use smaller sizes for close-range doors and private bays. Choose larger signs for gates, yard entrances and vehicle approaches where drivers need several metres to read, react and move on safely.
| Size option | Practical viewing guidance |
|---|---|
| H 210 x W 148 mm | Close doors, small gates and short-range viewing up to around 3 m |
| H 297 x W 210 mm | Staff entrances, garage doors and private parking bays up to around 5 m |
| H 400 x W 300 mm | Yard gates, fences and outdoor approaches up to around 8 m |
| H 420 x W 297 mm | Car park entrances and service routes up to around 10 m |
| H 594 x W 420 mm | Larger site entrances and delivery areas up to around 15 m |
| H 841 x W 594 mm | Wide approaches, busy yards and long-distance driver visibility up to around 20 m |
