Private Parking Signs

Not all of these Private Parking Signs are available in Spanish. However, you can create a Spanish sign yourself by adding your Spanish warning message to one of our custom sign templates. We do offer a Bilingual Private Parking sign reading - Entry By Key Access Only / Estacionamiento Privado Acceso Con Llave Solamente. You can also contact our customer service team and they will be able to help you create a Spanish sign from scratch.

Red and white octagonal signs are perceived as “Stop” signs universally. The benefit of octagonal shaped signs is that you can convey any message through these signs and people will first stop in their tracks to pay attention and read the sign carefully. A simple shape can help you effectively convey a vital message like “Do Not Park in a Private Driveway”. Unique eight-sided shape breaks monotony and gets more attention than regular rectangular signs. Even if drivers face the sign from the back, the shape of the sign would intrigue them.

Place the Private Parking stencil on the desired location - measure and mark to ensure that the stencil is straight, centered, and properly aligned before painting. Simply tape the stencil from all sides on the desired spot, be it a ground or a wall, or any other surface. Use standard spray paint to trace out your design. Wait for a few seconds and let the paint dry. Remove the tapes slowly and take off the stencil gently. Now wash excess paint from the stencil and reuse. Built up paint will automatically peel off from the stencil. Watch our detailed video on how to use private parking stencils.

Yes, our reflective Private Parking Signs are visible in dark and dim light too. Aluminum signs with 3M’s reflective sheeting reflect light when light from a vehicle’s headlight or a flashlight hits the sign face. There are three grades of reflectivity to choose from - engineer grade, high intensity, and diamond grade. Diamond grade reflective signs offer the most superior reflectivity amongst the three. Our reflective private parking signs meet most of the federal regulations set for reflectivity, design, lettering, and size for highway signs to ensure road users receive consistent, uniform messages.

Just click on a customizable sign template (look for a custom flag on the top right corner of a Private Parking Sign). Enter your text in the customization boxes which can be your towing company’s name, address, phone number and your warning message. You can adjust the text size, change the font, alignment, and spacing of your text - all for free!

A Private Parking Sign can be used on both - a parking lot as well as a driveway - as long as these spaces are privately owned. We offer signs for parking lots, private street, private driveway, and any kind of private property.

Private parking refers to a land, site, facility, building or a part thereof, for parking of motor vehicles by the owners, tenants, or employees of that property. Such areas are reserved exclusively for property owners and their guests and are not normally accessible to the general public.

Although it depends on state and local laws, the answer in most circumstances is yes if the property owner has posted a warning sign saying that parking is prohibited and that vehicles will be towed at the owner's expense.

For example, in Washington, vehicles parked illegally on a residential property can be towed immediately. On a private, non-residential property too, when signage is properly posted, towing can be done immediately. If the private property is non-residential and is not posted with a sign: vehicles illegally parked can be towed after 24 hours.

A residential homeowner of four or less than four units is not typically required to post private parking tow warning signs to have a vehicle towed that is blocking the driveway.

If you are the owner of an office building, shopping center, apartment complex or condominium community, you will need to conspicuously post No Parking Signs and display that your area is subject to tow away. Signs must have contrasting lettering with the background and should be reflective so it is visible at night or in dimly lit environments.

This usually depends on individual state laws and vehicle codes. In most circumstances, private parking owners do not have statutory authority to issue lawful parking tickets or citations or suspend driver's licenses in the manner law enforcement officers do. However, they may request payment for parking on their private property. Also, they must post a private parking sign "near each entrance and on the property in a clearly conspicuous and visible location to all who park" there.

We do offer a sign with text - Air Will be Taken Out of Tires - License Plates Removed From Unauthorized Parkers. However, it depends on your local laws and jurisdiction whether you can actually take such steps against vehicles illegally parked on your private property.

Most lawyers say that touching a vehicle and deflating the tires is considered “vandalism”. As a private parking owner, the only aim should be to remove the vehicle off your property and not to damage it. In New York, deflating the tires can fall under “Criminal Tampering” (§ 145.14) and is punishable by law.

Posting a warning sign about it would not harm you and will in fact discourage people from wrongly parking.

Again this is a matter governed by local laws and codes. The police normally don't deal with parking violations on private parking spaces like a private driveway. They can only interfere in illegal parking issues on publicly owned or controlled parking facilities. However in some jurisdictions, vehicles with outstanding parking tickets can be towed by police, regardless of whether they’re parked on public or private property. If you need to remove an illegally parked or abandoned car from your property, you can call the police to investigate the matter.
