No Parking Tow Away Area Signs tell drivers not to leave vehicles where access must remain clear. They help you manage private car parks, service yards, gates and garage entrances by reducing blocked routes, disputes and delays.

Where No Parking Tow Away Signs Should Be Fitted

You should install this sign at the point where a driver decides to stop, not after the obstruction has already happened. Fit it on gates, posts, walls, fences or garage doors so the warning is visible before vehicles enter or block restricted access.

Choosing a Clear Viewing Distance

Choose the larger sign where drivers approach at speed or from a distance. Use the smaller size near gates, doors and private bays where people read the message close up. Keep the sign square to the approach route and away from glare, parked vehicles or foliage.

Sign size	Typical readable distance	Best use
H 400 x W 300 mm	Up to around 12 metres	Gates, garage doors, private bays and entrances
H 600 x W 400 mm	Up to around 18 metres	Service yards, wider car parks and approach routes

What This Sign Helps You Prevent

After installation, drivers get a clear warning before they park, helping you reduce blocked gates, delivery delays and awkward disputes over restricted spaces. The sign supports firmer site control without needing repeated verbal reminders.

✅ Fewer vehicles left across entrances, gates and loading access points.

✅ Clearer expectations for staff, visitors, contractors and delivery drivers.

✅ Better protection for areas where obstruction creates avoidable disruption.

ⓘ Installation Guidance

Fitting Advice for Clear Parking Control

❌ Installing it too high for drivers to read from a vehicle.

❌ Hiding it behind parked vehicles, gates, bins or overgrown planting.

❌ Placing it after the parking decision has already been made.

❌ When this is the wrong sign to rely on

❌ Do not use it where you need an official highway traffic sign.

❌ Do not use it where clamping, towing or enforcement rules are unclear.

❌ Do not use it as a substitute for site-specific parking procedures.

✅ Better fitting choices for lasting visibility

✅ Mount it facing the driver’s normal approach line.

✅ Use the larger size where vehicles approach from further away.

✅ Check visibility after installation from a driver’s seated position.
