Parking Garage Signs
When creating parking garage signs, the main goal is to create a smooth flow of traffic and encourage safety. INPS has worked with many contractors and builders. Signs include: Entrance Signs, Directional Signs, Instructional Signs, Height Restrictions, Traffic Flow Signs, Restricted Parking Signs, No Parking Signs, Barrier-Free Parking, Expectant and New Mother Parking, Floor Level Numbers, Colour coded signs, Elevator Signs, Stairwell Signs and Exit Signs.
Electric Vehicle Signs
Under the Ontario Building Code (OBC), new non-residential buildings must equip at least 20% of parking spaces with Electric Vehicle Supply Equipment (EVSE). The remaining 80% must be designed to support future EVSE installation.
Colour Coded Level Signs
Colour coded parking garage levels allow for reduced anxiety and frustration when finding your parked car.
- Use distinct colours with high contrast
- Pair colours with symbols and icons
- Apply consistent visual cues
- Use matte finish to reduce glare
Parking Space Signs
Tenant-numbered parking spots in parking garages are designated spaces assigned to specific residents, units, or tenants. These spots are clearly marked to help ensure organization, prevent unauthorized parking, and support lease or condo agreements.
Parking Garage Entrance Signs
Parking garage entrance signs are essential for directing traffic, enhancing safety, and providing important information at the point of entry. These signs must be highly visible, durable, and often compliant with local building and accessibility codes.
Hanging Signs
Hanging signs in parking garages are suspended from ceilings or overhead structures to provide critical information for drivers and pedestrians navigating tight or multi-level spaces. They are especially effective where wall space is limited or where visibility from a distance is required.
Instructional Signs
Pay Instructions for a Parking Garage should be clear, concise, and highly visible to prevent confusion and ensure smooth traffic flow. Here’s a suggested structure and content for signage or decals at pay stations and garage entrances/exits.
