Back In Parking Signs

For maximum effectiveness, Back In Parking Only signs should be installed so they are clearly visible to the driver upon entering the parking row or specific space.

For angled parking scenarios, consider specialized signs like "Angle Parking Back In Only" placed at the start of each row. For parallel spaces, placing a sign at the beginning and end of the designated back-in zone is recommended. Making the restriction immediately clear reduces driver confusion, minimizes incorrect parking maneuvers, and improves overall compliance with your parking regulations. You can view examples of placement in our back-in parking sign video.

While we offer various sizes up to 24" x 24" and larger for specialized needs, the most popular and commonly effective size for a standard Back In Parking Only sign in typical parking lots is 12" x 18".

This size, often used for signs like the back-in angle parking sign, generally provides a good balance between maximum visibility for drivers approaching the space and practical mounting considerations on standard posts or walls. Larger signs might be necessary in areas with higher approach speeds or longer viewing distances. You can see typical sign sizes in our back-in parking sign video.

All of our Back In Parking and other reverse parking signs are made with materials selected for maximum durability and visibility in outdoor conditions.

The signs are constructed from heavy-duty aluminum (learn about its properties in our aluminum signs video), which is rust-proof and weather-resistant. For visibility, especially at night, they utilize 3M matched component reflective sign materials and inks. These reflective options ensure compliance with DOT reflectivity standards where applicable and provide a maximum lifespan, keeping signs like the angle parking back in only sign bright and legible for years. Our video explains how to select the best reflective grade for your needs.

Yes, you can certainly customize Back In Parking Only signs to fit your property's specific needs and branding.

While the core message remains "Back In Parking Only," you can personalize the sign with supplemental text (e.g., adding specific warnings, enforcement details, or instructions). You can also incorporate your company or property logo to make the sign official and unique to your parking lot using our general custom parking signs tool or starting with custom sign blanks. This allows for a consistent brand identity across all your property signage. Watch our video to see how easy it is to customize your parking sign.
