Fire Lane Signs
Fire lane signs go along painted fire lanes, apartment complex drives and the entrances to shopping plazas where cars often stop to unload. Property managers, church lot committees and hospital campus staff use them to keep the lane open for fire trucks and ambulances.

Helpful guides
Where fire lane signs are used
Storage facility owners, hotel managers and school district facilities crews post this sign at the curb of a painted lane, on a median island beside a drop-off loop, and on a gate post at the back of a loading court. A drive that serves a fire hydrant or a building's rear entrance needs the same message, and the sign tells a driver who pulls in to unload that the lane has to stay open.
Choosing the size and where to hang it
Mount it on a post at the curb, angled so a driver sees it while slowing, and high enough that a parked car does not block it. The 36 in x 24 in size suits a long lane or a wide drive entrance, and the 18 in x 24 in size is the tall option for a post a bumper might pass. Reflective aluminum shines back in headlights, which matters for a lane used after dark. Aluminum with holes is the outdoor pick.
Questions about fire lane signs
Where should fire lane signs be placed?
Post one at the start of each fire lane and at intervals along it, on a pole or wall at a height that headlights reach at night. Check the spacing and wording your fire marshal requires for your property, since local rules differ from town to town.
Should I order the reflective version?
Reflective aluminum uses engineer-grade reflective vinyl on .040 in aluminum, so it shows in headlights at night and helps drivers spot the lane after dark. It comes in 12 x 18 in only, so choose that size if you want reflective.
Danger or Notice: which one?
Ask your fire marshal which header they want on fire lanes. Danger means a hazard that will cause death or serious injury, and Notice means information not related to a hazard. Your answer decides which one goes on the sign you order.
Does the sign enforce the no parking rule?
No. The sign states the rule, but towing and tickets come from your local authority, not from a sign we print. Check your state and local rules for how fire lanes are marked and enforced where you are, since the rules differ by city and county.
What is the red on white style?
It is a fire lane design in red and white, offered next to the Danger and Notice headers. Pick it when your lane should match the painted curb or the other signs in your area. Check your state and local rules for the colors and wording a fire lane must use.
