Entrance Signs with Arrow
Apartment complexes, churches, car washes and office parks post an entrance sign with arrow where guests turn off the street into a lot or private drive. Setting the sign at the driveway opening, facing drivers as they turn in, shows them the way in before they reach the gate.

Where entrance signs with arrow are used
Drivers who reach a long fence line often miss the one gap that leads into the lot, so they circle, block a lane or pull into a restricted drive. An entrance sign at the gap, such as the side gate of a storage yard, the arch at the front of a tree-lined condo drive or the delivery gate behind a hardware store, tells them which opening is the entry before they brake. The owner or facilities manager sets it up once, and it keeps doing its job for as long as the gap stays open.
Choosing the size and where to hang it
Angle the sign so the arrow faces the driver turning in. The 12 x 12 in square fits a post beside a narrow drive, the 18 x 12 in size sits on a wall by the gate, and the 36 x 24 in size suits a wide gate. Aluminum takes screws through holes at the top corners or the top and bottom center, while plastic suits a covered garage and hangs from its brass grommets. Reflective aluminum shows the arrow in headlights after dark.
Questions about entrance signs with arrow
Which arrow should I choose?
Right and left arrows point drivers toward the side they should turn at a gate or drive. The up arrow points straight ahead, and it comes upright on a 12 x 18 or 18 x 24 in portrait size, or in a wide layout for a long entry.
Can I post an entrance sign near a public road?
Keep it on your own property, such as a lot, garage or private drive. Public streets fall under the road authority, so ask your city or county before you place one near a road the public uses.
Which color and material suit a garage entrance?
White on green feels welcoming for a church or apartment drive, and black on white is the plainer choice for a garage. Aluminum is .040 in thick, rust-free and printed with gloss UV ink, so it suits a wall outside. Plastic is lighter and flexible, and hangs from brass grommets.
What should the optional extra line say?
Use it for a short name or number that helps a driver choose the right gap, such as GATE B or LOT 2. A couple of words reads at driving speed. Read it back in the live preview before you order, because the preview matches the print.
Do I need two signs for a gap that traffic enters from both sides?
Yes, if cars come from both directions. Place one sign facing each approach, so its arrow shows the turn for that side of the gap. Pick the same color and size for both so the gap looks organized.
