Does your signage meet regulations set by the Americans with Disabilities Act? This act, created in 1990, is designed to protect and accommodate people with disabilities. Signage is a large part of this act, and it is required that signage must be legible to everyone regardless of disability. Examples of signs that need to meet these regulations are elevator signs, bathroom signs, or signs that mark certain rooms, like a classroom. These signs must meet specific criteria with the typography and placement of the sign, and can be found here.
Here at Custom Sign Source we make sure that all of your signage meets these regulations, and you won’t have to give it a second thought. Some of these regulations include the size and font of the typography and the inclusion of Braille in the sign. We understand how important it is to make signage accessible to everyone, and that not meeting these regulations can have some harsh penalties. In 2014 the maximum civil penalty for a fist time violation was raised to $75,000! If you want your signage to meet ADA regulations, contact us by emailing info@customsignsource.net or call (973) 970-9280 and we can start working together today!
