Where no unauthorized vehicles signs are used
Condo boards, hospital security leads and gated business parks post this sign on the post by a private driveway, on a chain across a staff-only entrance, and at the edge of a parking area reserved for employees. A church may place one on the back alley its volunteers use for supplies. The sign tells a driver who does not belong there to turn around before the gate opens. It also gives a security guard something visible to point to when a driver asks why the gate is closed.
Choosing the size and where to hang it
On the post or wall beside the entrance, put the sign at about eye level, angled so a driver who turns in sees it from the seat. The 24 in x 18 in size suits a single gate post, and the 36 in x 24 in size reads from the road on a wide entrance. Aluminum with holes is the sturdy outdoor pick, while plastic is light and fits a wall inside a building with grommets and zip ties. Reflective aluminum helps at a lot that drivers reach after dark.
Questions about no unauthorized vehicles signs
Where should a no unauthorized vehicles sign go?
Place it where the vehicle would first enter, such as a gate, driveway or lot entrance, so drivers see it before they commit to turning in. A second sign at the back of the lot helps if people can drive around the front. Check local code or your property rules for any wording or placement you must follow.
Notice or danger, which fits?
Danger (red) means the hazard will cause death or serious injury, which is rarely the reason for a parking rule. Notice (blue) states the rule without a hazard message, so it fits most parking rules. Pick danger only if your yard has a real hazard, such as moving equipment or open pits, that unauthorized cars could reach.
Can I add a company name or phone number?
Yes. Use the extra line for the owner's name, a tow company's phone number or the word PRIVATE. The live preview shows the exact sign as you type, so you can check spelling before you order.
Does the sign alone let me tow a car?
No. A sign can state that unauthorized vehicles are not permitted, but towing rules come from state and local law, and they often require notice and a set procedure. Before any tow, check your state and local rules, and talk to your tow company about the steps it must follow.
Can I post it on a private lot in another state?
Yes. The sign is the same wherever it ships, but the rules for posting and towing depend on where the lot sits. Check your state and local rules before you post it, and keep a dated photo of the posted sign with your records.
