A sign serving as a deterrent to unauthorized parking is mounted on a post which is resiliently supported by a base in a normal vertical position and is adapted to be deflected into an inclined position by the car bumper when overriding the base in driving head-in into the parking space. The base has a vertical wall which guides the post in returning from the inclined to the normal vertical position preventing rearward deflection and has an open front shaped to permit the forward deflection of the post through a predetermined horizontal angle. An axial helical tension spring for a tubular post or a spring biased pivot for a channel shaped post connects the respective post to the base for the resilient deflectability.A wire slide-guard is mounted along the post spaced from the sign to engage the car bumper and any protruding portions of the undercarriage for smooth passage therealong to facilitate the deflection and prevent the sign from locking thereon when the car backs out of the parking space. As an alternative form of slide-guard, the sign is shaped in a concave configuration and formed with a curved, beaded, periphery for engagement with the car bumper.

A reservation indicator for an individual parking space comprising a sign having a front facing surface bearing a message and being affixed to an upper end of a post resiliently supported in a normally upright vertical position, a base having a horizontal plate for attaching to the pavement of the parking space in a location requiring overriding by the front end of a car and deflection of the post from said vertical position to an inclined position, means mounted on said plate for said resilient support of said post, and slide-guard means associated with said post and sign adapted to be contacted and ridden along by the front bumper of the car during said overriding to effect said deflection permitting the car to completely enter said parking space and to prevent the sign and post from catching onto the car bumper and undercarriage when the car backs out of the parking space and the post returns to said vertical position.
