Generate No Overnight Parking Sign

How to Generate a No Overnight Parking Sign

1. Enter the no parking hours. Type the hours you enforce, such as 10PM – 6AM.
2. Pick a sign color. Choose navy, red or green for the banners, border and symbol.
3. Choose a bottom message. Select Violators Will Be Towed, Tow-Away Zone, Vehicles Towed at Owner's Expense or Private Property.
4. Add details (optional). Type a short line such as Applies Every Day.
5. Download or copy. Click Download Sign to save a PNG, or Copy Sign to paste it into a document, then print and post it.

Which No Overnight Parking Message Should You Choose?

• Violators Will Be Towed: warns drivers that vehicles left during the posted hours may be removed. Check local towing signage rules before using it.
• Tow-Away Zone: a shorter towing warning that fits narrow signs and entrances.
• Vehicles Towed at Owner's Expense: makes clear that the vehicle owner pays for any tow.
• Private Property: tells drivers the lot is not open to public overnight parking.

Tips for Posting a No Overnight Parking Sign

• Post signs at the entrance to the lot and where drivers park, at eye level and visible after dark.
• Make sure the hours on the sign match the hours you actually enforce.
• Use a laminated or weatherproof print for anything outdoors, and consider reflective material so it can be read at night.
• If tenants or employees need to park overnight, tell them how to get an exception, or use a separate Permit Parking sign for those spaces.
• This tool is for private lots. Overnight parking rules on public streets use official signs set by your city or local government.
• Accessible (disabled) parking spaces have their own legal signage requirements. Don't use a generic sign for those.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the Generate No Overnight Parking Sign tool?

It is a free tool from PayToPark that creates a printable No Overnight Parking sign in your browser. You enter the hours parking is not allowed, pick a sign color and a bottom message such as Tow-Away Zone, add an optional details line, then download or copy the sign as a PNG image.

Is the No Overnight Parking sign maker free, and do I need an account?

The tool has no payment step and does not require an account. The sign is drawn in your browser, so there is nothing to sign up for or upload.

What hours should I put on a No Overnight Parking sign?

Use the hours you actually enforce, such as 10PM – 6AM or 2AM – 6AM. The No Parking Hours field takes up to 24 characters, and the optional Details field adds a line of up to 30 characters, such as Applies Every Day. Leave the hours blank if you only want the plain symbol.

What size is the sign I download?

The sign is a portrait PNG that is 800 by 1200 pixels, a 2:3 ratio. It prints sharply at about 4 by 6 inches. Larger prints will look softer, so for big outdoor signs consider having a sign shop reproduce the design.

Can I tow vehicles that park overnight in my lot?

Not based on a sign alone. This tool is for private lots, garages and driveways. Overnight parking rules on public streets are set by the city or local government and use official signs. For private lots, rules for towing signage, including required wording, size, placement and contact information, vary by state and city, so check your local requirements and any towing company agreement before relying on a sign to enforce towing. Accessible (disabled) parking spaces also have their own legal signage requirements, so this tool is not meant for those.

What other parking signs can I make?

PayToPark has free generators for other signs. Try the No Parking sign generator or the Permit Parking sign generator, or use the Pay to Park sign maker to let drivers scan and pay at your lot.
