Not sure how (or why), but I ended up going through the changes to ADA sign standards some this past weekend. Not sure how many people here do ADA signs, but there are some changes that are going to impact any future signs and sign placements.
I know the future standards have been out there floating for a while and they are waiting to be approved, but once approved, it will change a lot that I have done in the past, most notably, the sign height. They are lowering all braille sign heights by about a foot if I read it correctly.
There are also some new standards on displaying non-ADA and ADA on the same sign. I think that's a pretty sweeping change that will open up the ability to design some much more appealing ADA compliant signs.
Either that or I read it all wrong, in which case.....nevermind :)
Anyone else paying any attention to the future of ADA signs out there?
