Reserved Parking Signs
Reserved Parking Signs show drivers that a parking bay is allocated before they pull in. They help site owners, facilities teams and property managers keep spaces available for the right users in workplaces, residential car parks and controlled visitor parking areas.
Best Placement for Reserved Parking Signs
You should install this Reserved Parking sign at the front of the allocated bay, on a wall, post or fence where drivers see it before committing to the space. Visibility matters because early recognition reduces last-minute manoeuvres, disputes and repeated use by the wrong driver.
Viewing Distance Guide
Use the larger sign where drivers approach from further away or where the bay sits within a busy row. Smaller signs suit close-range bay identification; larger signs give you better recognition before the driver reaches the space.
| Size option | Practical viewing guidance | Typical use |
|---|---|---|
| H 150 x W 450 mm | Best for close approach, around 5–10 metres | Single bays, wall-mounted spaces, small car parks |
| H 200 x W 600 mm | Better for longer approach, around 10–18 metres | Busy rows, wider bays, post or fence mounting |
Expected Safety Outcomes After Installation
A clear reserved parking sign changes driver behaviour before a vehicle enters the bay. It helps people recognise that the space is allocated, supports fair use of limited parking and reduces avoidable confrontation around who should park there.
