Parking Signs

Car Park Signage and Direction Signs

Car park signs organise traffic in open and underground car parks at shopping centres, hospitals, residential estates, factories and office buildings. They guide drivers to free spaces and help prevent collisions. Well-planned parking signage explains the entry, parking, pedestrian and exit layout at a glance. This category covers the signs a car park needs from entrance to exit.

Sizes, Material and Installation

Signs are made from 1.5 mm or 2 mm galvanized steel with standard or high performance reflective sheeting. In underground car parks, where signs are lit mainly by headlights, a reflective surface makes a clear difference to legibility. Signs can be screwed to walls and columns, or clamped to galvanized tube or omega posts in open areas. Convex mirror posts for blind spots are available in the Traffic Sign Poles and Legs group. Contact us for custom size signs with a company logo or level numbers.

Frequently Asked Questions

Which speed limit should a car park use? Low limits such as 10 or 20 km/h are typical inside car parks; the choice depends on the size of the car park, ramps and pedestrian traffic.

Do underground car parks need reflective signs? Lighting is often limited underground. Reflective sheeting makes the sign stand out clearly in headlights, so it is recommended.

Do you make level and block number signs? Yes. Send us the size and content you need for basement level, building or block and other custom text signs.
