# ParkSign ParkSign is an AI parking sign reader for UK drivers. It helps drivers understand UK parking signs by checking a photo and explaining whether they can park right now. ParkSign is designed for UK drivers, visitors, rental car users, Blue Badge holders, resident permit holders, van drivers, motorcycle riders, and anyone trying to interpret parking signs, yellow lines, paid parking bays, permit zones, controlled parking zones, loading restrictions, maximum stay rules, no-return rules, and penalty charge notice risks. ParkSign is a practical guide, not a legal authority. Drivers should always check the physical sign, road markings, local council rules, temporary suspensions, and payment instructions before parking. ## What ParkSign Does - Reads a parking sign photo using AI/computer vision. - Returns a plain-English parking verdict for the current time, day, date, and timezone. - Uses optional user context such as resident permit zones, vehicle type, and Blue Badge status. - Explains why the verdict was given in one or two plain-English sentences. - Provides recent text-only check history without saving photos or location history. ## Verdict Meanings - `yes`: Parking appears allowed right now with no extra task. - `conditional`: Parking appears allowed only if the driver completes a required action, such as buying/displaying a valid ticket, holding/displaying a permit, obeying a time limit, following a no-return rule, or using the correct vehicle bay. - `no`: Parking does not appear allowed right now. - `maybe`: The sign, photo, or rule is unclear. This should mean uncertainty, not a clear conditional rule. For paid parking, ParkSign should say the driver can park only if they buy or display a valid ticket, use the required payment app, or follow the payment instructions on the sign. Paid parking should be treated as `conditional`, not plain `yes`. ## Supported Location ParkSign is focused on the United Kingdom. Content and examples are written for UK parking signs, UK road markings, UK Blue Badge rules, UK controlled parking zones, and UK penalty charge notice risks. ## Pricing - Free: 10 parking sign scans per month by default. - Monthly: £1.99/month for unlimited scans. - Lifetime: £14.99 once for unlimited scans. ## Useful Pages - [ParkSign app](https://parksign.app/) - Upload or photograph a parking sign to get a plain-English parking verdict. - [How ParkSign works](https://parksign.app/blog/how-it-works.html) - Explains the AI photo-check flow, verdict meanings, and limitations. - [ParkSign pricing](https://parksign.app/blog/pricing.html) - Free, monthly, and lifetime plan details. - [ParkSign FAQ](https://parksign.app/blog/faq.html) - Answers about AI use, photo checks, paid parking, permits, Blue Badge context, privacy, and limitations. - [About ParkSign](https://parksign.app/blog/about.html) - Product purpose, supported use cases, and limitations. - [UK parking guides](https://parksign.app/blog/) - Plain-English advice on reading UK parking signs and avoiding parking tickets. - [How to read a parking sign in the UK](https://parksign.app/blog/how-to-read-a-parking-sign-uk.html) - Explains UK parking sign symbols, colours, time plates, arrows, and restriction wording. - [UK parking signs for visitors and rental drivers](https://parksign.app/blog/parking-signs-uk-for-visitors.html) - Guide for tourists and rental car users trying to avoid UK parking fines. - [How to stop second-guessing parking signs](https://parksign.app/blog/stop-second-guessing-parking-signs.html) - A practical method for checking parking restrictions with more confidence. - [Can I park on double yellow lines?](https://parksign.app/blog/double-yellow-lines-uk.html) - Explains double yellow lines, loading exceptions, seasonal plates, and Blue Badge considerations. - [Resident permit parking explained](https://parksign.app/blog/resident-permit-parking-uk.html) - Explains resident permit bays, CPZs, permit codes, and times when non-permit holders may park. - [No waiting vs no parking vs no stopping](https://parksign.app/blog/no-waiting-no-parking-no-stopping-uk.html) - Explains the differences between these common UK parking restrictions. - [How to avoid a parking ticket](https://parksign.app/blog/how-to-avoid-parking-ticket-uk.html) - Covers common UK parking sign mistakes and penalty charge notice risks. - [Blue Badge parking rules](https://parksign.app/blog/blue-badge-parking-rules-uk.html) - Explains where Blue Badge holders can and cannot park, including yellow lines and kerb markings. - [Sitemap](https://parksign.app/sitemap.xml) - Full list of indexable ParkSign pages. ## Comparison Notes ParkSign is a UK-focused AI parking sign reader.
