A lockout device couplable between a pneumatically-operable vehicle parking brake and a plunger-actuated control valve. The plunger is movable between a brake-disengaging position in which pressurized air flows through the control valve to the parking brake, and a brake-engaging position in which such air flow is prevented. The device has a shaft which is rotatable with respect to the plunger. The shaft has recessed and non-recessed portions. The plunger has a second recess. A key is removably couplable to the shaft and is rotatable between an engaged position in which the shaft's non-recessed portion protrudes into the second recess while the plunger is in the brake-engaging position, preventing movement of the plunger into the brake-disengaging position; and, a disengaged position in which the recessed portion of the shaft intersects the second recess, permitting movement of the plunger between the brake-disengaging and engaging positions.
