Permit Parking Signs
Permit parking signs are used to clearly identify parking spaces or areas reserved for vehicles with the required permit or authorisation. They help businesses, residential developments, private car parks and controlled parking areas communicate parking restrictions to drivers.
A clearly displayed permit parking only sign can help distinguish reserved spaces from general parking areas and make parking conditions easier to understand.
At Foamex Printing Company, we produce printed permit parking signs in a range of sizes, with custom options available for different parking areas and requirements.
What Are Permit Parking Signs Used For?
Permit parking signs help communicate where parking is restricted to authorised vehicles. They can be used in residential developments, private car parks, business premises, commercial sites and other controlled parking areas.
Common applications include:
- Resident Permit Parking: Identifies spaces or areas reserved for resident permit holders.
- Visitor Parking: Helps identify spaces intended for visitors or authorised vehicles. See our Visitor Parking Sign for related signage.
- Permit Only Parking: Indicates that only vehicles displaying the required permit may park within the designated area.
- Reserved Parking: Can identify parking spaces allocated to particular users, vehicles or organisations.
UK traffic-sign guidance includes signs indicating parking for permit holders only, with variations for resident permit holders and permit identifiers.
Key Details on Permit Parking Signs
A permit only parking sign may include information that helps drivers understand the parking restriction, such as:
- Permit Requirement: Clearly states that parking is restricted to permit holders.
- Permit Identifier: Where applicable, an identifier can distinguish between different permit schemes.
- Operating Times: Parking restrictions may apply during specified days or hours.
- Clear Visibility: High-contrast text and graphics help make the parking restriction easy to recognise.
