Are you searching for ADA signs or ADA compliance in Pleasant Hill, California?
The sole purpose of ADA signs, which stands for Americans with Disabilities Act signs, is to assist disabled people in public areas. A few examples of ADA signs are wheelchair signs, wheelchair accessible ramp signs, handicap parking lot signs, bathroom signs and stairs signs. There are rules and regulations that must be followed when designing and fabricating ADA signage. These rules and regulations are set forth by the Department of Justice, and must be followed or you could face the possibility of a hefty fine, up to and in excess of $50,000. Certain specifics on the location of the braille on a braille sign, the size of sign, and what characters can be used are all guidelines that must be followed.
The color of your ADA signs are important too. Wheelchair accessible signs must have the universal symbol posted, like seen in the image above, and the writing must be placed below the symbol in a contrasting color like white to the background color of the sign.
Most ADA signs are blue with white writing because they are one of the easiest color combinations to read. Accessibility of your ADA signs is also important, and in general, the overall functionality of the sign far outweighs aesthetic value. However, at Sequoia Signs & Graphics, we pride ourselves in our ability to correctly approach ADA signage, and we know how to design custom ADA signs that look high-end and are up to the Department of Justice’s standards.
