Bathroom signs with braille, disabled parking lot signs, stairway entrance signs, and wheelchair accessible ramp signs all fall into the ADA sign category.

In 1990, the Department of Justice introduced the Americans with Disabilities Act.  The act requires all public businesses to post signs for the visually disabled, hearing-impaired and wheelchair users.  The act is enforced by the Department of Justice, who regulates and enforces all public buildings to be up to code with ADA signs. If your building is not up to code with ADA signs then you can get a fine.

ADA signs have specific rules that must be followed.  For example, if you have a bathroom sign, it must be a certain size, color, and the braille must be located below the letters.  The purpose of enforcing these sign rules is to make sure public businesses, offices, hospitals and restaurants are available to all.

There only a few fonts have been approved by the Department of Justice for ADA signs. Italic fonts are not approved because they are not easily read. In this case, making a sign more functional is more important than making it look good. These specific details must be followed. Don’t let your business fall victim to penalties and fines that can easily be avoided.
