Parking Bay Signs

Easy-To-Read Parking Bay Signs Zero Fuss Fast Delivery

When creating a traffic management system, parking plays a key role. For instance, you may need to use parking bay signs to manage the parking on your premises so that bays are reserved for permitted staff and visitor vehicles, or to prevent unauthorised or hazardous parking in a reserved private bay or on a work site. A well-placed sign can provide a lot of key information to a staff member or visitor trying to find parking.

At Seton, we offer a full range of parking bay signs for your car park. With a range of materials, messages and sizes, we’re sure to have a sign for your required use. Need a unique sign?

Parking Signs Explained


Correct use of parking bay signs will help ensure traffic systems in a car park run smoothly. A vehicle parked where it is not permitted inconveniences everyone making use of a car park, and the increased confusion can affect safety. At Seton, we have a large range of parking bay signs which clearly show who is permitted to park their vehicle in a given location. Parking bay signs should be used in all business premises with car parks where certain bays need to be reserved, such as disabled parking or private parking.

Car Park Space Signs - Ensure Everyone Knows Where to Park

The parking bay signs at Seton include many different sign options. Use these car park signs to differentiate between bays for employees, visitors and customers, or private bays for particular members of staff. Keeping private car park bays reserved for a vehicle owned by a disabled employee or visitor is also essential, and you can use our selection of disabled signs for this purpose. You can also use signs with a left arrow symbol or right arrow symbol to help a visitor or staff member find what they need without getting lost.

Parking bay signs may be used to differentiate between different types of vehicles, with a specific sign to indicate spaces reserved for an electric vehicle, motorbike or bicycle. Signs are also available to mark your bike racks and shelters. The parking bay signs at Seton include the relevant wording and symbol with some signs made from reflective materials for safety at night and at other times when visibility is poor. Where a permit is required to park, we have signs that make this clear so car park users know to have their permit ready when asked for it.

At Seton, you will find parking bay signs suitable for most circumstances. If you are unable to find a parking bay sign to suit your needs, get in touch with us to discuss our custom sign service and we can create a custom sign that will meet your required use. To securely fix your parking bay signs, we offer a selection of sign holders and fixings which ensure signs remain visible.

Parking Space Signs and Safety

For many companies, it is a tricky task to create a good traffic management system that maximises safety, minimises confusion and meets all required standards. Make it easier by shopping for parking bay signs with Seton, a leading supplier of workplace safety equipment. All the parking bay signs we stock comply with relevant EU and UK safety sign regulations.

Parking bay signs play an important role in the smooth running of your traffic management system and general safety. Increase efficiency by using parking bay signs in conjunction with other car park solutions such as parking restriction signs to make sure everyone clearly understands where parking is permitted and prohibited, and where private parking spaces are reserved.

Parking bay signs can do a great deal to improve the smooth running of your car park, allowing employees and visitors to quickly park their vehicle. Clearly marked spaces in parking bays ensure that those with special requirements have a bay free for them when they need it. Good parking strategies play an important part in the safety of drivers and pedestrians on your premises, resulting in a more efficient workplace that also values safety.

FAQs


Do I need personalised road signs for my site car park?

In shared parking areas, custom parking signs are often required to designate staff or visitor parking bays that have been allocated to individual businesses. They may also be used to differentiate between areas within a company’s own site car park, such as employee parking signs to indicate staff parking areas, or reserved private bays for management or company directors.

Custom signage may also be required in residential areas, where a resident parking only sign may be necessary to indicate a restricted parking bay, or to designate privately-owned or allocated bays.

With its own in-house production facility, Seton can provide competitively-priced custom signs with a fast turnaround. Design your own custom road sign, using our online customisation tools to choose your design, layout, colour, material and mounting option for your sign. Add your logo and/or your required wording. This could include names, job titles, vehicle types or restrictions.

Do parking bays need to be clearly marked and signed?

Clarity and visibility are the two most important considerations when selecting parking bay signs. Accurate positioning is essential to ensure that the signs are easily visible to motorists, particularly those containing information about parking restrictions.

The British Parking Association has provided a useful guide to parking bay sizes and colour coding, as well as an essential guide to parking bay signage. This advice is particularly important in respect of the minimum dimensions required for bays that are reserved for disabled badge holders. Government guidelines recommend that 6% of parking areas be reserved for disabled drivers. These bays should be clearly identified by disabled parking bay signs positioned at the driver’s eye level, using the International Symbol of Access (ISA) – wheelchair symbol – with or without the words ‘Disabled Only’. We have a large range of disabled parking signs available that clearly convey important information to help keep your car park accessible.

Other reserved parking areas should also be clearly marked with a reserved parking sign, for example, a personalised permit parking sign, parent and child parking, or electric vehicle charging signage where applicable. A sign in these locations will help to ensure they remain free for those who need to use them.

Marking and signposting parking bays does not need to be complicated. At Seton, our knowledgeable staff understand how to create smart, compliant signs for our clients, and our extensive range - including custom signs - contains traffic and parking signs for almost every situation.

Can I put "no parking" signs anywhere on my site?

Parking restriction signage is a key component of any traffic management strategy. A reserved private parking sign for authorised vehicles only, or a no parking sign clearly indicates restricted areas, keeps the traffic moving smoothly and reduces accidents. Car park safety includes the provision of safe pedestrian routes through parking areas, and this will require directional signage to indicate the direction of traffic flow to motorists and safe pathways for pedestrians.

A ‘no parking’ sign will clearly communicate to a staff or visitor that they are not permitted to park in that location. If you need a more specific sign for bays that require a permit to park, see our Permit Holders Only sign. To indicate that a space is for private parking only, see our Private Parking Sign.

What are the best car parking bay signs for my business?
