Users Of This Car Park Do So At Their Own Risk Signs
This warning sign tells drivers and visitors that they use your car park at their own risk. It is used at private, workplace, retail and residential parking areas to make responsibility clear before people leave vehicles and reduce confusion over damage, accidents or loss.
Where to install this car park risk sign
Install this sign at car park entrances, pedestrian entry points, payment points and walls facing parked vehicles. Visibility matters because drivers need to understand the risk position before leaving vehicles, not after an incident has already caused dispute.
Viewing distance guidance
Choose a size that matches approach speed and viewing angle. Small formats suit close reading by a doorway or pay point; larger formats are better where drivers need to read the message from inside a vehicle.
| Size option | Best viewing role | Practical reading distance |
|---|---|---|
| H 210 x W 148 mm | Close reading at doors or payment points | 1–3 metres |
| H 297 x W 210 mm | Small entrances and pedestrian approaches | 2–5 metres |
| H 420 x W 297 mm | Vehicle entrances and wider parking areas | 4–8 metres |
| H 594 x W 420 mm | Larger entrances and longer vehicle approach | 6–12 metres |
Expected safety outcomes after installation
Once fitted, the sign helps you set responsibility before drivers step away from their vehicles. It encourages closer personal care of vehicles and belongings, while giving staff a clearer point of reference when questions or disputes arise.
