Are you searching for wheelchair signs in Renton, WA?
Wheelchair signs are part of a sign category called ADA signs. ADA stands for Americans with Disabilities Act. The Americans with Disabilities Act was implemented by the Department of Justice for people with disabilities back in 1990. These signs inform the disabled of resources available to them. All ADA signs, like wheelchair signs, handicap parking lot signs, stairs signs and handicapped accessible bathroom signs, must follow specific regulations.
Indoor wheelchair signs, for example, are required to display the universal wheelchair icon. As seen in the picture above, this type of ADA sign points people to wheelchair accessible bathrooms. One of the requirements for these types of signs is they must have braille. The braille must be located below the writing, and all lettering and icons should be a color that stands out against its background. If you have a blue background, for example, the lettering in the sign must be white. There is a color code chart the lists all the acceptable color combinations as designated by the Americans with Disabilities Act
