Signs We Install
1-800-STRIPER® installs the full range of parking lot signs a Fort Lauderdale property needs to stay safe, organized, and code-compliant. Good signage does two things at once: it keeps drivers and pedestrians out of conflict, and it gives you the legal footing to enforce parking rules on private property. Each type below does a specific job.
- ADA accessible-parking signs (MUTCD R7-8): Mark reserved accessible stalls with the International Symbol of Accessibility and the required permit wording. These are the signs a code officer checks first, and a missing or low-mounted one is a common reason a lot fails inspection.
- Fire lane “No Parking” signs: Keep emergency access routes clear so fire apparatus can reach the building during a call. They’re usually paired with red curb striping and stenciled pavement lettering for a complete fire lane.
- Directional and wayfinding signs: Point drivers toward entrances, exits, drive-through lanes, and one-way aisles. On a busy retail or medical lot, clear wayfinding cuts down on wrong-way traffic and the fender-benders that come with it.
- Stop signs: Control internal intersections and pedestrian crossings inside the lot, using the same red octagon drivers already obey on public streets. Placement at blind corners and crosswalks does the most good.
- Tow-away warning signs: Notify drivers that unauthorized vehicles will be towed. In Florida, posted notice is what makes private-property towing enforceable, so these signs protect both your tenants’ spaces and your ability to act.
If your lot needs a sign type not listed here, we can source and set it. Call (954) 932-0437 for a free estimate.
ADA & Florida Sign Requirements
Accessible-parking signs carry legal requirements that ordinary signs don’t, and we install to every one of them. The International Symbol of Accessibility has to appear per the 2010 ADA Standards for Accessible Design Sections 502.6 and 703.7, which set how the symbol is shown and how the sign is designed. Get the symbol, finish, or wording wrong and the stall isn’t compliant, even when the striping underneath it is perfect.
Florida layers its own mounting rule on top under Florida Statute 553.5041: the bottom edge of each accessible-parking sign has to sit at least 60 inches above the ground, high enough to read over the roof of a parked vehicle. A sign mounted too low vanishes the moment someone pulls in. The sign also has to display “PARKING BY DISABLED PERMIT ONLY” and a posted notice of the penalty for parking there without a valid permit.
Traffic and regulatory signs follow a different rulebook. The federal Manual on Uniform Traffic Control Devices (MUTCD) governs their shape and color, so a stop sign reads as a red octagon and an accessible-parking sign carries the standard R7-8 layout no matter which lot you’re in. That consistency is the point — drivers react faster to signs that look the way they expect. We match every sign we install to the height, symbol, color, and wording its category requires.
How Sign Installation Works
We follow a set sequence so every sign lands in the right spot at the right height:
- Confirm the sign types and exact locations with you, matching them to your stall layout, fire lanes, and traffic flow before anything is ordered.
- Set the posts — U-channel or steel — anchoring them in concrete for permanent placement, or surface-mounting them where digging isn’t an option, such as over a structural slab or in a parking deck.
- Mount each sign at its code-required height, including the 60-inch minimum that Florida sets for accessible-parking signs.
- Verify sightlines so no sign is blocked by landscaping, light poles, columns, or parked vehicles, and confirm each one reads clearly from a driver’s natural approach.
The mounting method depends on your surface. Surface-mounted posts let us add signs to concrete decks and garages without coring through the structure, while concrete-anchored posts stand up to wind and the daily bumps of an open lot. South Florida’s storm season puts real load on anything standing upright in a parking lot, so we set posts to hold through it. We can also replace bent posts and swap faded or damaged sign faces on hardware you already have, so an existing lot can be brought back up to code without starting over.

Frequently Asked Questions About Parking Lot Sign Installation in Fort Lauderdale, FL
What types of parking lot signs do you install?
We install a full range of parking lot signs in Fort Lauderdale, including ADA accessible-parking signs (MUTCD R7-8), fire lane “No Parking” signs, directional and wayfinding signs, stop signs, and tow-away warning signs. Each sign is mounted on a U-channel or steel post, anchored in concrete or surface-mounted depending on your site. Whether you need a single replacement or full parking lot sign installation, we set every sign to the right height and location for code and visibility.
What are the ADA requirements for accessible parking signs in Florida?
Florida accessible-parking signs must show the International Symbol of Accessibility under 2010 ADA §502.6 and §703.7, and they can’t be blocked by a parked vehicle. Florida Statute 553.5041 requires the bottom of the sign to sit at least 60 inches above the ground. Each sign also carries “PARKING BY DISABLED PERMIT ONLY” and a posted penalty notice. Our parking lot sign installation crews in Fort Lauderdale mount every accessible sign at the correct height and position to meet these rules.
Where should parking lot signs be placed?
Parking lot signs should be placed where they stay visible and aren’t blocked by parked vehicles, as required by 2010 ADA §502.6 for accessible signs. Accessible-parking signs in Florida mount with the bottom at least 60 inches above the ground so they’re readable above a car. Fire lane, stop, and directional signs go at decision points where drivers need them. During parking lot sign installation in Fort Lauderdale, we position each sign for clear sightlines and code compliance.
Do Florida handicap parking signs need a penalty/fine notice?
Yes. Under Florida Statute 553.5041, handicap parking signs must include a posted penalty notice along with the International Symbol of Accessibility and the words “PARKING BY DISABLED PERMIT ONLY.” We don’t post specific dollar amounts here; property owners should confirm current figures in the statute. When we handle parking lot sign installation in Fort Lauderdale, we use signs that already carry the required penalty notice and mount them with the bottom at least 60 inches above the ground.
Do you install fire lane “No Parking” signs?
Yes, we install fire lane “No Parking” signs as part of our parking lot sign installation service in Fort Lauderdale. These regulatory signs follow MUTCD design standards for shape and color and are mounted on U-channel or steel posts, anchored in concrete or surface-mounted. We can pair them with curb striping where your local fire authority requires it. The exact wording and placement follow the rules set by your local fire marshal, who has final say.
How much does parking lot sign installation cost?
The cost of parking lot sign installation in Fort Lauderdale depends on factors like the number and type of signs, whether new posts and concrete footings are needed, the mounting method, and site access. Replacing one sign is different from outfitting an entire lot with ADA, fire lane, and directional signage. Because each property varies, we provide a free estimate rather than a flat rate. Call (954) 932-0437 and we’ll review your needs and give you an accurate quote.
