Bayan Signage designs, fabricates and installs parking entrance signs, illuminated P totems, ramp entry and exit headers and internal exit signs for malls, hotels, office towers and hospitals. Everything is built in our Ajman factory, from galvanised steel frames to tested LED modules, and our draftsmen prepare the drawings for municipality and free-zone approval.
A parking entrance sign tells a moving driver where to turn in, and its partners tell them where to go next. On the street side that usually means a lit P sign or totem with the building or car park name and an arrow. At the ramp, a header over the opening reads 'Entry' or 'Exit' in Arabic and English, often with the height limit. Inside, exit signs lead drivers back to the street, and 'No entry' signs stop cars driving up an exit ramp against the traffic.
The difference between a sign that works and one that loses customers is timing. A driver at 40 km/h covers about 11 m every second and needs several seconds to see, decide, signal and slow down. A sign placed at the turning point is read too late; a sign hidden behind a bus shelter is not read at all. We size and place every parking entrance sign for the real road speed and confirm its position with a night drive-past before any foundation is cast.
Bayan Signage is the production arm of Bayan Advertising, with 15 years in the UAE, and has fabricated outdoor signs at Alam Square, Industrial Area 2, Ajman since 2016. We weld galvanised steel totem frames, clad them in ACP, CNC-cut the faces, assemble and test LED modules and powder-coat the finish, all in-house. Our draftsmen prepare permit drawings for Dubai Municipality and free-zone authorities, and outdoor signs carry our 5-year warranty on LEDs, finish and structure.

A car park usually needs a street sign, a ramp sign and internal exit guidance. We plan them as one route, from the road to the ramp and back out again.
Freestanding lit totems with the P symbol, car park name and arrow, on a galvanised frame and foundation, for malls, hotels and office parks set back from the road.
View details →Sealed outdoor lightboxes on the facade beside the ramp, for buildings whose entrance sits directly on the frontage.
View details →Bilingual Entry and Exit headers above the openings, lit or reflective, often combined with the height limit so drivers read both together.
View details →Max headroom figures and swinging clearance bars at the entrance, measured on site so the number on the sign is one drivers can trust.
View details →Freestanding arrow signs inside large plots and campuses, separating visitor, staff, valet and service traffic before it reaches the ramp.
View details →We survey the frontage, ramps and power points, then drive past at the real road speed after dark to fix the sign position. The survey is free in Dubai, Sharjah and Ajman.
Our designers size the P symbol and text for the reading distance; our draftsmen prepare shop drawings, structural details and the submission package for the municipality or free zone.
Totem and header frames are welded from galvanised steel, clad in ACP and powder-coated. Faces are CNC-routed to ±0.1 mm in acrylic or ACP for push-through or lit panels.
Our electricians fit Samsung or Epistar IP65 modules, mount the drivers in a ventilated position away from the sunniest face, and run every sign at full brightness before dispatch.
Each sign is checked against the approved drawing for size, colour, wording and light uniformity, and the arrows are confirmed against the site plan.
We scan for services, cast foundations, install the totem or header, connect it to the supply your electrician provides and test it after dark with the photocell set.
This is our usual specification for an illuminated street-side sign and ramp headers. We adjust it to the landlord's criteria and the permit, and itemise every change on the quote.
| Component | Our standard | Upgrade options | Why it matters |
|---|---|---|---|
| Structure | Galvanised steel frame on concrete foundation | Larger section for tall totems | Holds the sign plumb in wind and resists rust for years. |
| Cladding | ACP, powder-coated or matched to the facade | Aluminium with routed push-through faces | A clean, durable skin that matches the building's architecture. |
| Faces | Cast acrylic, UV-stabilised | Push-through acrylic P and lettering | Diffuses light evenly and resists yellowing in sun. |
| LEDs | Samsung or Epistar IP65 modules, 12 V DC | 24 V for long runs | Branded modules keep brightness even and reliable outdoors. |
| Drivers and control | Ventilated, accessible driver box, photocell | Timer or building management link | Heat shortens driver life; a photocell switches the sign at sunset. |
| Ramp headers | Reflective film on aluminium | Lit header with LED modules | Reflective faces read in headlights; lit headers suit 24-hour sites. |
These are the points we raise on almost every car park entrance. Each is free to get right on the drawing and expensive once a foundation is cast.
At 40 km/h a driver covers about 11 m per second and needs four or five seconds to react and slow, so the sign should be readable from roughly 50 to 80 m. That usually means a P symbol at least 400 to 600 mm high and the car park name at 150 mm or more. On a 60 km/h road, add an advance sign before the entrance and go larger.
A sign at the entrance itself is read by drivers who have already passed it. Put the main sign where the decision is made, ahead of the turning point, and use the ramp header to confirm. We fix the position with a night drive-past, because a bus shelter, tree or bright shopfront can hide a sign that looked perfect on the plan.
Many UAE car parks are busiest after sunset, especially in summer. An unlit sign works by day and disappears among street and shop lighting at night. We fit a photocell or timer so the sign switches on at dusk, and mount the drivers away from the hottest face of the cabinet so they survive a long summer.
Drivers who miss the entrance often try the next opening they see. A 'No entry' sign facing them at the foot of every exit ramp, plus a clear Exit header, prevents head-on near misses. On frontages where the entry and exit are close together, use different colours or symbols so nobody turns into the wrong one.
Prices, opening hours and phone numbers make an entrance sign unreadable at speed. Keep it to the P symbol, the name and an arrow. The tariff belongs on a separate rate board just inside the entrance or before the barrier, where cars slow down or stop and drivers have time to read it.
We quote from your site plan and photos, not a price list. Send the frontage, the ramp locations and any landlord criteria, and you will usually receive an itemised quote, separating fabrication, installation and permit work, within 24 hours.
A reflective post sign is the most economical. Illuminated totems and lightboxes cost more because of structure, foundations, LEDs and electrical work.
Each entrance, exit and level adds a group of signs. Sites with separate valet, service and visitor entries need more pieces and planning.
Lit signs need a supply, sealed drivers and usually a photocell or timer. Long cable runs from the nearest board add electrical cost.
Totems and tall posts need concrete foundations and scanning for buried services. Headers must fix into structure, not finishes.
Street-facing signs usually need municipality or free-zone approval; we prepare and submit the drawings as part of the job.
Leaving space for a spaces-available counter from your parking system provider means agreeing dimensions, power and cabling early.
Street-facing parking entrance signs, especially illuminated totems, usually need approval from Dubai Municipality, Sharjah or Ajman Municipality, or the free-zone authority where the plot sits, and malls and master communities add their own design criteria. Signs on the public road reserve, such as directional signs on a main road, are normally controlled by the road authority, such as the RTA in Dubai.
Our technical draftsmen prepare the shop drawings, structural details and elevations for the submission, and follow the application through. Signs near junctions must not block sightlines or look like official traffic signs, which we check at the survey. Requirements vary by location and change over time, so we confirm the current rules for your exact address.
Steel welding, ACP cladding, CNC cutting, LED assembly and powder coating all happen in-house, so one team controls the whole sign.
We confirm every street sign position with a drive-past at road speed after dark, before any foundation is cast.
LEDs, powder coat and structure on outdoor signs are covered for 5 years, with a warranty document at handover.
Our draftsmen prepare and submit drawings to the municipality or free-zone authority and follow the approval through.
Fabrication, installation, electrical and permit work are listed separately, usually within 24 hours, so you can compare like for like.
Entrance, height, tariff, bay number and directional signs can be made and installed together, with one project manager.
Street-facing signs, especially illuminated ones, usually need approval from Dubai Municipality or the relevant free-zone authority, and malls and communities have their own criteria. Signs inside the plot or basement are usually simpler. We confirm the current requirement for your site and prepare the drawings for submission.
It depends on the format, size, illumination, foundations, the number of entrances and permit work. A reflective post sign costs far less than a lit totem with its own foundation. Send your site plan and photos and we will send an itemised quote, usually within 24 hours.
Usually not on your own. Signs on the public road reserve are generally traffic signs controlled by the road authority, such as the RTA in Dubai. Building owners normally place their signs within their own plot, set back so they do not obstruct sightlines at the junction.
For a street-facing sign read at 50 to 80 m on a typical city road, a P symbol at least 400 to 600 mm high works well. On faster roads or where the entrance is set back, larger symbols and an advance sign before the entrance are worth the extra cost.
In most UAE locations, yes. Car parks are often busiest after sunset, and an unlit sign is easily lost among street and shop lighting. Smaller internal signs can rely on reflective film, but the main street sign usually benefits from LED illumination with a photocell or timer.
Yes, if your parking guidance or barrier system provides the count. We build the sign with space and power for the counter display supplied by your parking system provider, and agree dimensions and cabling with them before fabrication so it fits neatly and can be serviced.
An entrance sign tells a moving driver where to turn in; a rate board explains tariffs and rules to a driver who has slowed or stopped. They work best as separate signs, with the rate board just inside the entrance or before the barrier.
Yes. We repair failed LEDs and drivers, replace faded faces and can relocate a totem to a better position with a new foundation. Our sign removal and relocation and LED repair teams handle signs we did not originally make, after a survey to check the structure and wiring.
