Parent and Child Parking Arrow Left Signs help you direct parents and carers towards family parking areas in car parks, schools, retail sites and leisure facilities, improving flow and reducing missed turns.
This Parent and Child Parking Arrow Left Sign directs drivers towards family parking spaces before they reach the bay entrance. It helps shops, schools, hospitals and leisure sites guide parents and carers clearly, reducing hesitation, wrong turns and avoidable congestion near pedestrian routes.
Best position for clear left-turn guidance
You should install this sign before the turning point, on the approach where the arrow sends drivers left towards parent and child parking. Visibility matters because drivers need to commit early without slowing across moving traffic.
Viewing distance guide
Choose the larger size where drivers need to read the sign earlier or from a wider lane. The smaller size suits slower, closer approaches where vehicles are already searching for family parking.
| Size option | Practical viewing use | Best location |
|---|---|---|
| H 400 x W 300 mm | Close approach, roughly 5–12 metres | Slow internal routes and bay entrances |
| H 600 x W 400 mm | Earlier reading, roughly 12–25 metres | Main car park approaches and wider lanes |
Expected Safety Outcomes After Installation
After installation, you should see drivers make the left turn earlier, with less last-minute braking and fewer family-bay users circulating past the spaces they are trying to find.
✅ Quicker route choice for parents and carers approaching the parking area.
✅ Fewer missed turns, reversing movements and unnecessary loops around the car park.
✅ Clearer separation between family parking traffic and general parking traffic.

Build a clearer family parking route
For a wider set of matching messages, review parent and child parking signs for car parks. Useful when you want the whole family parking area to feel consistent.
If the sign needs to identify the space itself, use wide parent and child parking bay signs. Good for bay-front positions where drivers need immediate confirmation.
Where the family spaces sit to the right, pair this with right direction parent and child parking signs. Helpful for two-way car parks and split routes.
For a non-directional bay message, choose a parent and child parking only sign message. Useful where the space is visible but still needs clear use guidance.
