What Makes It Stand Out

Parking signs might seem like a small detail, but they're crucial for creating realistic urban environments and enabling parking enforcement roleplay. These aren't just visual decoration - they create actual gameplay opportunities. Parking enforcement officers can patrol looking for violations (cars parked in no parking zones, expired meters, handicap violations), issue tickets, and call for tows. The variety of sign types allows server owners to create complex parking regulations matching real cities: permit zones for residents, loading zones for businesses, reserved spots for emergency services, and time-limited parking in commercial districts.

Roleplay Opportunities

• Parking Enforcement: Officers patrol issuing tickets for parking violations
• Towing Operations: Tow truck drivers remove illegally parked vehicles
• City Planning: Government employees designate parking zones and restrictions
• Handicap Compliance: Enforce ADA parking regulations
• Loading Zone Management: Delivery drivers use designated commercial zones
• Permit Systems: Residents obtain parking permits for restricted zones
• Meter Collection: City workers collect coins from parking meters
• Parking Disputes: Players contest tickets through court/admin systems

Integration Ideas

• Parking Ticket Scripts: Use signs to designate ticketing zones for enforcement scripts
• Towing Systems: Link tow-away zones to automatic vehicle impound
• Permit Systems: Create parking permit items players must display in permit zones
• Parking Meters: Make meters interactive for payment (coins, credit cards)
• City Revenue: Parking tickets and meter fees contribute to city budget
• Violation Tracking: Record parking violations on player records for repeat offenders
• Business Integration: Businesses can request loading zones or customer parking

Placement Recommendations

Downtown/Commercial Districts

• Time-limited parking (1-2 hours) on main streets
• Parking meters along commercial corridors
• Loading zones near businesses for deliveries
• No parking during rush hours on busy streets

Residential Areas

• Permit required zones protecting resident parking
• Overnight parking restrictions on certain streets
• Handicap spots near apartment complexes

Government Buildings

• Reserved parking for police/fire/EMS vehicles
• City vehicle only spaces near municipal buildings
• Visitor parking with time limits
• Handicap accessible spots near entrances

Medical Facilities

• Doctor/staff reserved parking
• Emergency vehicle spaces near ER
• Patient/visitor parking with time limits

Customization Options

• Symbol Changes: Replace symbols for custom designations (VIP, employee, etc.)
• Size Scaling: Resize props for different placement contexts
• Material Swaps: Change materials for weathered/damaged appearance

Script Integration Examples

Example 1: Parking Enforcement Job

Parking officers patrol zones with these signs, checking for violations. Script detects vehicles in no parking zones marked by sign props, allowing officers to issue tickets.

Example 2: Automatic Towing

Vehicles parked in tow-away zones (marked by signs) for more than X minutes are automatically flagged for NPC or player tow trucks to impound.

Example 3: Permit System

Residential permit zones (marked by signs) require players to have permit item in vehicle inventory, or they receive tickets/tows.

Technical Details

• File Format: Standard FiveM prop format (YDR, YDD, YTD)
• Collision: Enabled on all sign posts and structures
• Textures: High-resolution, readable text and symbols
• Polygon Count: Optimized for performance (low poly)
• LOD Models: Level of Detail models for distance rendering
• Performance Impact: Negligible (props are very lightweight)

Realistic City Building

These signs are essential for creating believable urban environments. Real cities have complex parking regulations - combining these props with enforcement scripts creates that authentic experience. Players learn to look for signs before parking, park legally to avoid tickets, or risk violations for convenience. It adds a layer of consequence and decision-making to simple parking that mirrors real life.
