Disabled parking signs -whether in a car park or a private parking spot- play an essential part in deterring regular drivers from using spaces allocated to blue badge holders, wheelchair users and drivers with disabilities. By choosing a design that is easy to read and which contains the universally recognised parking symbol, it will make it easy to spot by both those who will be using the bay and able-bodied drivers will know to avoid it. 

Furthermore, disabled parking signs are a legal requirement in the UK due to the Disability Discrimination Act 1995 and the Equality Act 2010. These require that designated parking spaces for individuals with disabilities are clearly marked with a sign that meets specific requirements. 

Disabled parking signs must display the international symbol of access and include clear wording that indicate which spaces are reserved for people with disabilities. They must be placed in a highly visible, accessible location, and the parking space itself has to be a suitable size for most cars, with space that allows individuals with disabilities to access it with ease and without any safety implications. To not comply with these regulations could mean a hefty fine.

Types of Disabled Parking Signs

Disabled parking signs can come in a variety of formats, ideally suited to the particular needs of the car park in which they are placed. As well as including a range of designs for the sign itself, they can also be made up of a wide range of durable materials and are available in many types of fixture or standing options.

Examples of  allocated parking bay signage:

• • • Accessible Parking signs
    • Mother and child parking
    • Temporary (or movable) parking signage
    • Wayfinding signs
    • Personalised disabled parking bay signs
    • Rules and regulations signage
