Where is the appropriate place to put a temporary parking sign?

Temporary parking signs should be placed behind the front windshield on the passenger side. The placement guidelines for temporary parking signs are: easily visible from outside the vehicle while not interfering with the driver's normal line of sight. Temporary parking signs consist of a stand (base), numbers, and brightness LED lights, made from various materials. Their purpose is to display the vehicle owner's contact information when needed, providing convenience to others and ensuring safe parking. From first-generation temporary parking signs to second-generation versions and now evolving into automotive accessories, they have become an essential item for every car owner.
I recommend placing the temporary parking sign in the center at the bottom of the front windshield as the most suitable position. It's highly visible and at a moderate height, allowing pedestrians, drivers, or traffic police to see your contact information at a glance, preventing your car from being mistakenly towed or fined. Especially when parking temporarily on urban streets, time is tight, so choosing the right spot is crucial. I've seen cases where signs placed in corners were obscured, leading to delays when others couldn't reach the owner. Remember to use a fixed parking sign instead of a magnetic one to prevent it from sliding off due to wind or vibrations; ensure the information is clear and not reflective to avoid unclear numbers. After parking, check if the position is secure and doesn't obstruct your driving view. Carrying a spare sign is also a good idea in case you lose the original. In short, placing it in the center is the safest choice.
As someone who frequently parks outdoors, I find it most convenient to place my temporary parking placard on the dashboard in front of the passenger seat. When parking, I can easily pick it up and position it, and putting it away afterward takes no time. If using a magnetic parking sign, sticking it to the roof or inside the door also works, but be cautious on windy days to prevent it from blowing away or getting blurred by rain. In parking lots, placing it by the side window is noticeable enough; for street parking, it must be placed in the center of the windshield. The key is to position it for easy operation, without spending too much time fiddling with it. I also recommend choosing a durable parking placard material to avoid frequent replacements; when placing it, ensure the information faces outward clearly and isn't obscured by clutter, preventing others from contacting you.
