Bike Parking Signs
Shops, schools, parks and apartment buildings use a bike parking sign to show where bikes belong, away from doors, walkways and fire lanes. Post it at the rack, on a building wall or on the path that leads to it, and use the extra line for a note such as Scooters welcome.

Where bike parking signs are used
A bike parking sign points riders to a rack beside a library entrance, a brewery's side yard, or a bike shop's back patio. Riders who lock up to a railing or a sign post can block a doorway or a ramp, so the sign leads them to the rack. Campus paths and trail heads post one where a cluster of racks sits off the main walk. Riders who see the rack first lock up in the right place and keep paths clear.
Choosing the size and where to hang it
Beside the rack, on a post at eye height, or on a building wall along the path, is where riders look first. The 24 in x 18 in size reads from a bike seat, and the 12 in x 18 in size fits a narrow fence post. Aluminum takes weather on an outdoor rack. Plastic suits a covered bike room or a wall inside a garage. Keep the sign off the rack itself, so a locked bike does not hide it.
Questions about bike parking signs
Where should the sign go?
Put one on a post or wall at the rack and a second on the path that leads to it, so riders find the spot before they lock up. A 12 x 12 in square sign suits a single rack, and an 18 x 12 in landscape sign reads from a walkway.
Can I add a no bikes on the sidewalk rule?
You can type a short rule on the extra line, but the printed text stays BIKE PARKING. Local rules on bikes and scooters vary, so check your city's rules before you post a ban.
Green or blue?
White on green feels like a bike path and reads well on a fence or rack. White on blue is a cooler, more neutral look for a school or office. Both come in aluminum or plastic, so the material can follow the spot.
What else can the extra line say?
It can say which way the rack is, such as Racks behind the building, or name what parks there, such as Bikes only. Keep the line short so a rider reads it from the path. The printed BIKE PARKING words state the purpose, and the line adds detail only when a place needs it.
Should the rack have a sign on every post?
One sign per rack is usually enough when the spot is clear. Add a second sign at a far corner or a side path if the rack sits behind a building. Walk the route a rider takes from the street, and place a sign where the choice of path is made, so no one has to search for the rack.
