A steering locking device for an automotive steering system, whereby the steering shaft is locked when the key cylinder is held in its "lock" position and when the key is removed from the key cylinder and whereby a warning signal such as sound or light is produced when the vehicle door is opened with the steering shaft left unlocked and/or the key left inserted into the key cylinder. The warning signal is produced through operation of an electric switch mechanism which is compactly accommodated in the housing of the locking device.
