Do magnetic signs count as signwriting?

I'm a bit bothered about this. ive been to the shoe loads of times and my van isnt signwritten. Ive never seen any warning signs that unmarked vans need a parking permit. nor anything saying they will be clamped. Surely if there aren't any warning signs then they can't clamp you??
