Users Of This Car Park Do So At Their Own Risk Signs
Users Of This Car Park Do So At Their Own Risk Signs give drivers a clear parking risk message before they leave a vehicle. They help site owners, landlords and facilities teams set expectations in private, workplace and visitor car parks, reducing disputes over damage, loss or accidents.
Best places to fit this car park risk sign
You should install this sign at car park entrances, payment points, pedestrian exits and shared parking areas. Place it where drivers slow down or make the decision to park, so the message is seen before a vehicle is left unattended.
Viewing distance guidance
Choose the size around the approach distance, not just the wall space. A smaller sign suits close-range reading, while the larger option is better where drivers approach from further away or across a wider entrance.
| Size option | Practical viewing range | Best use |
|---|---|---|
| H 300 x W 400 mm | Around 3–8 metres | Close entrances, internal car park walls and pedestrian exits |
| H 400 x W 600 mm | Around 8–15 metres | Wider access points, larger parking areas and longer driver approach lines |
Expected safety outcomes after installation
This sign helps you change driver behaviour by making the parking risk position clear at the point of use. It encourages drivers to take care, lock vehicles, remove valuables and understand site responsibility before leaving the area.
