Parent And Child Parking Arrow Right Signs
Parent And Child Parking Arrow Right Signs show drivers where to turn for designated family parking. They help parents, visitors and site users find the correct bays quickly in car parks, retail sites and public facilities, reducing confusion where traffic is already moving.
Best placement for family parking direction
You should install this sign before the turn towards parent and child bays, not after the driver has passed the choice point. Use it on walls, posts or fences where approaching drivers can see the right arrow without slowing suddenly or crossing pedestrian routes.
Viewing distance guidance
Choose the size around the speed and distance of the decision point. The larger option gives drivers more time to react where the family parking entrance sits beyond the first row of bays.
| Size option | Practical viewing use | Typical decision distance |
|---|---|---|
| H 400 x W 300 mm | Close car park approach, bay ends, pedestrian-adjacent turns | Around 5–10 metres |
| H 600 x W 400 mm | Longer vehicle approach, entrance routes, wider car parks | Around 10–20 metres |
Expected driver behaviour after fitting
This sign helps drivers commit to the correct turn earlier, which can reduce last-minute manoeuvres near bays, children, trolleys and pedestrian walking routes. It supports calmer movement through family parking areas.

Installation Guidance
❌ Do not fit the sign after the turning point, as drivers may already have committed to the wrong lane.
❌ Do not place it behind parked vehicles, trees, payment machines or trolley bays.
❌ Do not mix right-arrow and left-arrow signs on the same approach unless the route genuinely splits.
❌ Do not use it for spaces directly in front of the driver where no turn is needed.
❌ Do not rely on it alone where bays are regularly misused and your site needs policy wording or permit control.
❌ Do not fit it where glare, poor lighting or a tight bend prevents drivers seeing it in time.
✅ Install it at driver eye level where possible, before the right turn into the family parking area.
✅ Match the fixing method to the surface: wall, post or wire fence mounting.
✅ Check visibility from a moving vehicle before final fixing, especially at entrances and internal junctions.
Frequently asked questions
Are Parent And Child Parking Arrow Right Signs suitable for a supermarket car park? Yes, they are a practical choice where parent and child bays sit to the right of the main vehicle route or behind a row of standard bays.
Should I choose the smaller or larger size? Use H 400 x W 300 mm for close-range parking lanes. Choose H 600 x W 400 mm where drivers need to see the instruction earlier from a wider or busier approach.
Can this sign be used outdoors? Yes, the supplied details state indoor and outdoor display use. Select the material and fixing method around the surface, exposure and mounting position.
Does this create a legally enforceable parking restriction? It helps communicate your site’s parking arrangement, but enforcement depends on your wider car park policy, terms, layout and management process.
Where should the arrow point? The arrow should point towards the actual route drivers must take. Do not use a right arrow where the family bays are straight ahead or to the left.

Guide drivers to family parking spaces
For a broader comparison, view the parent and child car park signs before choosing your layout. Useful when you need matching messages across several bays.
If the bay itself needs marking, consider landscape parent and child parking bay signs for a clear space-specific message. Helpful for marking individual family parking places.
For a simpler instruction without a direction arrow, use parent and child only parking signs. Good where drivers are already beside the correct space.
Where the route changes on another aisle, match this with left direction parent and child parking signs. Useful for keeping family parking guidance consistent.
