Choosing the Right Material

Selecting the best material depends on where you plan to install your sign and how long you need it to last. Here’s a simple guide to help you choose:

The 15 Minute Parking Strictly Enforced Sign is available in several material options:

Choosing the Right Size or Option

The right sign size ensures your message is easily seen and understood by drivers. Consider the viewing distance and the overall visual environment:

• Standard Sizes (e.g., 12×18 inches): This is a common and versatile size, suitable for individual parking spots, private driveways, smaller business lots, or where drivers will be relatively close to the sign. It provides clear visibility without being overly imposing.
• Larger Sizes (e.g., 18×24 inches): Opt for a larger sign if your parking area is extensive, if the sign needs to be visible from a greater distance, or in high-traffic environments where a more prominent visual impact is necessary. These are ideal for commercial parking lots, public entrances, or areas with faster-moving vehicle traffic.

Your choice of material and size should work together to ensure the 15 Minute Parking Strictly Enforced message is effectively communicated to every driver.

Installation & Everyday Use

Installing your sign is generally a straightforward process, designed for quick setup by most users. For rigid signs (Aluminum and Plastic), you’ll typically mount them to a fence, wall, or post using screws or bolts. These signs often come with pre-drilled holes to simplify the process. Basic hand tools like a drill, screwdriver, or wrench are usually sufficient.

Vinyl decals require a clean, smooth surface for application; simply peel off the backing and adhere. Magnetic signs adhere instantly to any clean, flat metallic surface. Regardless of the material, proper placement is key to ensuring visibility and effectiveness.

Please note: Mounting hardware (such as screws, bolts, or posts) is NOT included with the sign.
