What Signage is Needed for a Car Park?
If you operate a car park in UK, either public or private, there are both legal and utility for requirements signage. Here are some ideas for what you will need from a well established sign maker in UK who are experts at the design, production and installation of car park signs. You want to create a safe parking environment enabling your clients to park their car, to leave their auto, to go about their business, to return to their automobile and to exit from the car park.The needs for signs cover four areas: fire and safety, automobile routing, pedestrians and parking enforcement.
Fire & Safety Signs
Escape signage must be clearly visible from all the parts of a car park with safe routes marked until the final exit.
Vehicle Routing Signs
You ought to use bold clear signs with recognised traffic symbols to direct vehicles. Signs can be wall mounted or suspended as appropriate. A yellow reflective background is often utilized for traffic routing.
You must take every opportunity to reinforce your speed restrictions on special speed signs and by integrating the message into the directional signage.
Other signage can indicate disabled, prohibited and restricted parking areas.
Signs for Pedestrians
You need to provide signage to help pedestrians find their way from their vehicles to their destinations. You shoul also provide signs (e.g. For floors and sectors) to help pedestrians find their ways back to their cars. You can install colour coded level numbering and zone lettering signs with 'You Are Here ' plans at strategic points. The signs will create safe routing for pedestrians away from ramps and other high risk areas. Other signs will warn drivers of pedestrian presence. You might also want to install lockable notice boards.
Parking Enforcement Signs
Wheel clamping is no longer permitted in UK. There must be clear signs stating tariffs, restrictions and penalties. You must only install signs for parking enforcement that are compliant with British Parking Association standards.
