ADA signs are signs that are mandated by the Federal Government and stands for the Americans With Disabilities Act or “ADA”. These signs should be conveniently located and easy to read both visually and through physical touch.
For an ADA sign to be compliant it should have, no glare, high contrast between characters and their background, high legibility, appropriate size of letters, appropriate placement of signs.
According to ADA Standards for Accessible Designs (1994), signs with braille and raised characters are required for signs designating permanent rooms and spaces.
Your sign font should not be in italics or any form of script. It shouldn’t be oblique, highly decorative, or in any other unusual form. The idea is for it to be as easy to read as possible.All ADA font should be sans serif. Additionally, sizing, stroke and colors are requirements as well.
Grade 2 Braille is required for text on tactile signs. Braille should be in lowercase with exceptions being proper names, letters as part of a room number, acronyms, the first word of sentences, or initials. Check your state laws for specific requirements.
ADA signs are essential for two main reasons. First, they remove barriers for people with disabilities by making it easier and safer for visually impaired people, those with mobility issues, and seniors to navigate public facilities. Apart from the fact these people should be treated equally, it’s good for businesses to be accessible to everyone.
Reason number two is ADA signs are required by both state and federal law. Most businesses are required to be ADA-compliant. A company violating the requirements risks expensive lawsuits and heavy fines (up to $75,000 for the first violation under federal law and $150,000 for additional offenses). State and local governments may impose their own regulations and fines on top of these.
We provide all types of ADA indoor signage, including room identification, wayfinding, and safety signs. Government standards are very specific, and our detailed knowledge of them can help safeguard our clients against expensive non-compliance.
We will make sure the tactile display dimensions, font choice, and character height meet requirements. We make signs using non-reflective and non-glare materials with good contrast. Our experienced team will let you know the current location for the needed signage.
According to ADA requirements, restroom signs must be mounted so there are at least 48 inches between the floor and the bottom of the lowest tactile character and at most 60 inches between the floor and the top of the highest tactile character.
Additionally, the sign must be located on a wall next to the door on the strike (handle) side unless there is insufficient room, in which case it may be mounted in a clearly visible location on the nearest adjacent wall.
Signs must not be mounted on a door unless
Not all signs have to be ADA-compliant. Building addresses, directories, parking signs, and temporary signs (used for seven days or less) don’t need ADA compliance. ADA compliance doesn’t apply to advertising, marketing signs, company logos, or names.
However, nearly all businesses are required to provide certain types of ADA-compliant signage. Examples of such signs include:
There are very specific requirements for ADA bathrooms, including:
