Imagine you walk into an establishment, you need to use the restroom and cannot find the signage to lead the way, or worse – you see the signs, but they are in a place you cannot make them out properly. This would be an awful experience and probably not lead you wanting to go back to that location if you had a choice.
The American with Disabilities act was passed in 1990. This act protects many people who have limitations or disabilities by making signs easier to access and read for those in need. For example ADA signs offer braille options on signs for those who are visually impaired. ADA signs in general help make buildings more accessible to all of your guests.
ADA signs can be a bit complicated at times as they do come with a variety of requirements in order to be compliant to the act. Not only do the signs have to be a specific size but they also need to be installed at a certain height and be installed by using a certain method. If your building fails at including compliant ADA signs, you can be facing fines of up to $75,000!
