Parking Restriction Signs

Parking Restrictions - Where and When to Use them

Parking restriction signs are necessary to ensure traffic systems on a work site run smoothly. Poorly parked vehicles are a nuisance and can create danger, particularly if they impede access by emergency services. Our parking restriction signs clearly mark areas where parking is prohibited or limited.

Many work locations benefit from these signs including:

• Hospitals


• Emergency services stations


• Airports and transport hubs


• Schools


• Warehouses


• Factories


• Retail sites

Wherever emergency access is required and traffic is likely to be heavy, parking restriction signs will be particularly valuable for increasing safety and efficiency.

Parking Regulation Signs as Part of Your Traffic Management System

Good traffic management on your premises not only prevents accidents, it also allows traffic to move as efficiently as possible, increasing convenience and saving valuable time. Parking restriction signs are an important part of this strategy, reducing inconvenience and the hazards created by badly parked vehicles. The effective use of traffic signs will reassure everyone on your premises that their safety is your top priority.

Parking Zones You Might Need

In the UK, there are various types of parking zones in use that may apply to your business premises. Think carefully about how best to manage traffic safely and effectively on your business premises by implementing specific parking zones in certain areas.

You may need to make some areas Controlled Parking Zones or Restricted Parking Zones in order to ensure that waiting or loading is restricted either permanently or at certain times. You will want to make it clear what restrictions are in place, and this will sometimes require a custom parking restriction sign to make the rules and penalties clear.

Permit Parking Areas refer to any area where you must have a permit in order to park, such as a disabled permit or a resident’s permit. Pedestrian zones are areas where motorised vehicles cannot enter at all, and these can also be a way of ensuring safety across your business premises.

Why Parking Might Need To Be Restricted

There are various reasons to restrict parking in some areas of your business premises. The main ones are the safety and convenience of staff, customers and the general public. For example, if vehicles are parking in loading and delivery bays, this will stop contractors and suppliers being able to load and deliver efficiently. Parking in a pedestrian area may increase the risk of accidents as cars pull into and away from the area, or pedestrians try to navigate walkways blocked by vehicles.

You may also find entrances and exits blocked by parked vehicles, especially if these access points are not in regular use. In this case, a simple no parking sign should suffice to draw attention to the entrance or exit. No parking signs on private property are generally well observed by the general public. Often, parking offences of this kind are due to people simply not paying attention, and not realising that they are blocking a regularly used access point.

You should also think about time restrictions. If a typical customer visit to your premises takes around 20 minutes, you may want to restrict your customer parking to half an hour. If you have limited parking, you certainly do not want people parking there for two or three hours while they do other things unrelated to your business. This is especially important if there is very little parking available and you will be missing out on customers if they cannot park close by.
