Reserved Parking Handicapped Sign – ADA-Compliant Reflective Aluminum for High-Visibility Parking Enforcement
The Reserved Parking (with Handicapped Symbol) sign is a professional-grade aluminum parking sign designed for contractors, facility managers, and property owners who need durable, compliant signage for accessible parking spaces. Constructed from 63 mil thick aluminum with 3M reflective sheeting, this sign delivers long-term outdoor performance in parking lots, garages, and commercial properties. Available in multiple reflectivity grades and two standard sizes, it is engineered to meet the demands of high-traffic environments where visibility and durability are critical.

Unlike standard parking signs, this product is available in three distinct 3M reflectivity grades — Engineer Grade, Hi Intensity, and Diamond Grade — allowing contractors to specify the appropriate visibility level for the lighting conditions and traffic speed of each site. The laminated finish and heavy-gauge aluminum construction provide a service life that outperforms lighter-gauge or non-laminated alternatives in outdoor environments.
Key Features & Benefits
63 Mil Thick Aluminum Construction
The heavy 63 mil aluminum substrate resists bending, warping, and impact damage in demanding outdoor installations. This gauge is well-suited for post-mounted applications in parking lots where signs are subject to wind load and incidental contact.
3M Reflective Sheeting
Available in 3M Engineer Grade, Hi Intensity, and Diamond Grade reflective options, this sign can be specified to match the visibility requirements of any parking facility. Higher-grade reflectivity options improve nighttime legibility in low-light or high-speed environments.
Laminated Finish for Superior Durability
The laminated surface protects the sign face from UV fading, moisture, and abrasion, extending the usable life of the sign in exposed outdoor conditions. This reduces replacement frequency and long-term maintenance costs for property managers and contractors.
Pre-Punched Holes and Rounded Corners
Factory-installed mounting holes and rounded corners allow for fast, straightforward installation on standard sign posts or brackets without additional fabrication. Rounded corners also reduce the risk of sharp-edge injuries during handling and installation.
Multiple Size Options
Available in 12" x 18" and 18" x 24" sizes to accommodate different post configurations and local code requirements. The larger format improves visibility in wider parking areas or where signs must be read from a greater distance.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What reflectivity grade should I specify for a standard parking lot application?
A: The default 3M Engineer Grade reflective sheeting is appropriate for most standard parking lot installations with typical ambient lighting. Hi Intensity or Diamond Grade options are available for sites requiring enhanced nighttime visibility.
Q: Are mounting hardware and posts included with the sign?
A: The sign includes pre-punched mounting holes and is ready for installation, but mounting posts and hardware are not included and must be sourced separately.
Q: What sizes are available for this sign?
A: This sign is available in 12" x 18" and 18" x 24" sizes to suit different installation requirements and local specifications.
Q: Is the laminated finish suitable for long-term outdoor exposure?
A: Yes. The laminated finish is specifically applied to provide superior durability against UV exposure, moisture, and surface abrasion in outdoor environments.
