ADA Signs

What Are They?


The American's with Disabilities Act (ADA) was signed into law on July 26, 1990

by President Bush. This law guarantees equal opportunity to individuals with

disabilities in many areas from employment to transportation to wayfinding & more.

Signage, also commonly known as "wayfinding", is just a portion of what this law

entails. Compliant ADA Signs should have both tactile raised letters and also

Grade II braille for those blind and with low vision. The law also states letter height,

type of braille, color contrast, mounting location and more.

Look around when you go out in town. All those signs with braille are ADA signs. Even the touchpads at the drive through ATMs have them :confused:
