Reserved Parking Signs

Clear Reserved Parking Signs help drivers identify spaces allocated to particular people, groups or vehicles and make parking arrangements easier to understand.

Our range includes reserved parking signs, designated parking signs and notices for allocated bays used by employees, residents, tenants, permit holders and other authorised users.

Suitable for businesses, workplaces, residential developments and private property, Safety Sheep reserved parking signs are made in Britain and available in a choice of sizes and durable materials.

Reserved Parking Bay Signs

Reserved parking bay signs clearly communicate that a particular space is not intended for general parking.

They can be used where individual bays are allocated to particular users or where several spaces form a designated reserved parking area.

Position signs where approaching drivers can identify the reserved space before deciding where to park.

Designated Parking Signs

Designated parking signs identify spaces intended for a particular purpose or group of users.

Depending on the car park, designated spaces might be provided for employees, residents, tenants, permit holders, customers, visitors, electric vehicles or other authorised users.

Using a specific message is usually clearer than simply marking every specialist space as Reserved.

Allocated Parking Signs

Allocated parking signs can be useful where particular spaces are assigned to individuals, properties, departments or other defined users.

They are commonly used in residential developments, offices and other private car parks where drivers need to distinguish allocated spaces from general parking.

Where appropriate, signs can identify a particular bay, property or authorised user.

Reserved Parking Signs for Businesses

Businesses can use reserved parking signs to organise spaces for different people and operational requirements.

Typical applications include:

• Employee parking
• Management parking
• Company vehicles
• Permit holders
• Contractors
• Authorised vehicles
• Individual departments
• Reserved visitors
• Fleet vehicles

Clear signs can reduce uncertainty about who may use particular spaces and help keep designated bays available for their intended users.

Employee Parking Signs

Employee Parking and Staff Parking signs can identify areas reserved for people working at the premises.

These signs can be particularly useful where employees share a car park with customers, visitors, residents or other users.

For larger workplaces, directional signs can also help employees find the correct parking area from the site entrance.

Resident & Tenant Parking Signs

Residential developments and managed properties may have spaces allocated to residents or tenants.

Clearly identifying these spaces can help distinguish them from visitor, customer or general parking areas.

Where spaces are assigned to individual properties, more specific wording or numbered bays may provide greater clarity than a general Residents Only sign.

Permit Parking Signs

Permit parking signs identify spaces or areas where parking is limited to vehicles displaying or holding an appropriate permit.

They can be used at workplaces, residential developments and other privately managed car parks.

If formal parking conditions or enforcement arrangements apply, these should be communicated clearly through appropriate parking notices rather than relying solely on a simple Permit Parking sign.

Private Reserved Parking Signs

Private property owners can use reserved parking signs to identify spaces that are not intended for general use.

This can be useful at private residences, apartment developments, offices, estates and other locations where particular bays are allocated to authorised users.

The wording should accurately describe how the space is intended to operate.

Reserved Parking Signs with Arrows

Directional reserved parking signs can help drivers identify the location of designated parking areas.

They are particularly useful on larger sites where reserved parking is located away from the main entrance or where drivers reach a junction before the parking area becomes visible.

Use directional signs at the points where drivers need to make a decision rather than only at the final destination.

Reserved Parking Signs & Other Designated Bays

Not every specialist parking space should simply be labelled Reserved.

Where a bay has a specific purpose, a more descriptive sign can make the parking arrangement clearer.

For example:

• Customer Parking
• Visitor Parking
• Disabled Parking
• EV Charging
• Staff Parking
• Permit Holders Only
• Residents Only

Using specific wording helps drivers understand not only that a space is reserved, but who or what it is reserved for.

Where Should Reserved Parking Signs Be Positioned?

Position reserved parking signs where drivers can clearly identify the allocated space while approaching it.

For individual bays, signs are commonly installed at the head of the parking space on a wall, fence or post.

Consider:

• Vehicle approach direction
• Viewing distance
• Mounting height
• Lighting
• Other signs nearby
• Parked vehicles
• Vegetation and obstructions

The sign should remain visible when neighbouring spaces are occupied.

What Size Reserved Parking Sign Do I Need?

Choose the sign size according to its location and expected viewing distance.

A smaller sign may be suitable immediately in front of an individual bay, while larger signs can be useful at car park entrances or where drivers need to identify a reserved area from further away.

Keep the message concise enough to be understood quickly.

Reserved Parking Signs & Bay Markings

Upright reserved parking signs can be used alongside surface markings to make allocated spaces easier to identify.

Surface markings can become worn, dirty or obscured by parked vehicles, while an upright sign can remain visible.

Where several different types of designated bays are located together, combining signs and markings can make the overall parking layout easier to understand.

Reserved Parking Signs for Outdoor Use

Most reserved parking signs are installed outside, so choose a material suitable for the mounting surface, expected weather exposure and required lifespan.

For permanent outdoor installations, a durable rigid material is generally suitable for walls, fences and posts.

Signs should be checked periodically to make sure they remain visible, legible and securely fixed.

Are Reserved Parking Signs Enforceable?

A standard Reserved Parking sign communicates that a space is intended for a particular user or purpose, but it does not automatically create parking enforcement rights.

Where a private car park operates formal parking terms, permits, charges or enforcement arrangements, appropriate notices should clearly communicate those conditions.

A simple bay-identification sign and a contractual parking notice perform different functions and should not automatically be treated as interchangeable.
