Permit Parking Only Signs help you make reserved parking areas clear for authorised drivers in private car parks, residential spaces and workplace parking areas, reducing confusion and misuse.
A Permit Parking Only Sign tells drivers that parking is reserved for vehicles with permission to use the space. It helps landlords, estate managers and workplace teams control private parking areas, reduce disputes and make parking rules clear before a vehicle is left.
Best places to fit this parking sign
You should install this sign at the entrance to controlled parking areas, beside allocated bays and on walls, posts or secure fencing where drivers naturally look before stopping. Clear positioning helps you prevent confusion before a vehicle is left in the wrong space.
Viewing distance guidance
Choose the size around how quickly drivers need to understand the restriction. Smaller signs suit close bay checks; the larger option is better where vehicles approach from further back or several spaces are being controlled.
| Size option | Best practical use | Typical viewing range |
|---|---|---|
| H 400 x W 300 mm | Close-range parking bays, walls and smaller private car parks | Around 3–8 metres |
| H 600 x W 400 mm | Wider entrances, post mounting and larger managed parking areas | Around 8–15 metres |
What changes after the sign is fitted
This sign helps you move from informal parking control to visible instruction. Drivers can see that permission is required before leaving a vehicle, which reduces awkward conversations, blocked spaces and repeated misuse of reserved parking areas.
✅ Fewer non-permit vehicles left in controlled spaces because the parking rule is clear before the driver parks.
✅ Less disruption for authorised users who depend on reserved or managed parking being available when needed.
✅ Better support for site managers when explaining parking restrictions to visitors, staff, tenants or contractors.

Installation Guidance
Common fitting errors to avoid
❌ Do not place the sign behind parked vehicles, bins, shrubs or open gates where drivers only see it after they have stopped.
❌ Do not fit it too low on a post where vehicle fronts, snow, weeds or foot traffic can block the message.
❌ Do not rely on one small sign to control several separated parking areas with different users.
When this sign is the wrong choice
❌ Do not use it where the parking rule is actually for residents, staff, visitors or numbered bays unless “permit parking only” is the right wording.
❌ Do not use it as a substitute for formal road traffic signing where the land is not under your control.
❌ Do not install it in unlit areas at night without checking that drivers can still read it clearly.
Better placement decisions
✅ Fit the sign where a driver makes the parking decision: at the entrance, beside the bay row or directly facing the approach.
✅ Use the larger size where the sign must be read from a moving vehicle or across several spaces.
✅ Match the fixing method to the surface, and use suitable wall, post or wire fence fittings sold separately where needed.
Frequently asked questions
Is this Permit Parking Only Sign suitable for private car parks? Yes. It is intended for controlled parking areas where you need drivers to understand that parking is for permit users only.
Which size should I choose? Use H 400 x W 300 mm for close bay positions and H 600 x W 400 mm where the sign needs to be seen sooner, such as entrances or larger parking areas.
Can I use it for resident parking? Yes, where the wording matches your parking arrangement. If you need resident-specific wording, choose a sign that states that restriction more directly.
Is this sign reflective or photoluminescent? No. This product is non-reflective and non-photoluminescent, so position it where natural or site lighting makes the message easy to read.
Can I fit it to a post or fence? Yes, depending on the material and fitting method selected. Post mount fittings, cable ties and other fixing materials are sold separately where required.
Can this be used on a public road? Only use it where you have authority to control the parking area. For adopted highways or council-managed parking, check with the responsible authority first.
