According to the United States Department of Labor, the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) prohibits discrimination against people with disabilities in communications, employment, governmental activities, public accommodation, and transportation. Because of this, you are required to use compliant graphics and symbols on all of the signs that are in public areas of your building. Fortunately, Elite Custom Signs is one of the top suppliers of exterior ADA signs for Raleigh, NC.
Staying ADA Compliant
We have worked with facilities like office complexes, nursing homes, school systems, government facilities, residential neighborhoods, hospitals, hotels, and more to bring them up to code. We can also make the process easier for you. Here are some must-have exterior ADA signs:
Handicapped Parking Signs – Whenever possible, accessible parking spaces are required. In Raleigh, regulations state that you need clearly marked “handicapped” parking and van accessible parking spaces. We can also post the relevant state laws and penalties associated with non-authorized drivers parking in these spots. We make our handicapped parking signs from engineer-grade reflective vinyl and industrial strength aluminum. They are designed specifically for outdoor durability.
Automatic Door Plaques – Many venues are required to have doors that open automatically to make them more easily accessible. With this standard, you also need to make it clear where your automatic doors are located and if patrons need to push a button to activate them. This can be achieved with high-contrast, easy-to-see automatic door plaques. We also have vinyl decals that can be installed directly on these doors.
Wayfinding Signs – Part of making your building accessible involves clearly marking the best route for people of all abilities to enter. This is especially true for those patrons who are wheelchair-bound. With the right signage, you can guide the way from your parking lot to the best entrance.
Accessibility Assistance – Let your clients know you care about them with assistance signs. These plaques make it clear to guests that you are available to help them. This may include advising them to ring a bell for assistance, honk their horn, or to simply ask.
Take Full Advantage of Your ADA Markers
Your exterior ADA signs do not have to be boring just because your building and organization’s operations must meet all applicable regulations. Your compliance and safety signs will be a better representation of your brand and will be far more visible when you choose to use custom colors, digital graphics, and materials. In addition, when you add your branding to your ADA markers, you also lend a level of authority to your signs.
When it comes to ADA signs, there are few limits to what is possible. That is why we listen carefully to your goals for your project when you contact us. We can perform a site survey and make recommendations about what signs you may need to be in compliance with the ADA. We will then fabricate any markers you want.
