Are you searching for parking lot signs in Tustin, CA?
At Black Parrot Sign Studios, we specialize in all kinds of custom signs for businesses, including parking lot signs.
The Americans with Disabilities Act introduced disabled signs in 1990 and made them a requirement for all public buildings. We make ADA signs that are up to code, and will meet the Department of Justice’s standards and save you from potential fines. In the picture to the left, you can see the signs for the handicap parking stalls that clearly designate each spot as disabled parking only.
There are specific measurements for posting handicap signs or painting lines on the ground. For instance, each accessible parking space must be designated by a sign. The Department of Justice requires a universal symbol of accessibility to be mounted to a post or building 60 inches above the surface of the parking lot space.
Does your parking lot meet ADA standards? If not give us a call and we will help you get up to ADA code.
Other specifics, such as the length and width of the parking lot stall, must adhere to measurement rules. For example, the width of the stall must be 8 feet. The wider width of the stall makes handicap spots available to vans too. Handicap parking must also be located at the shortest accessible route of travel from the parking to your building entrance. These technical rules must be paid attention to or you may get a fine that could be costly.
Did you know that you can get fined up to $55,000 for not following ADA rules? If you don’t clearly post ADA signs you are considered to be discriminating against the disabled! You can be fined up to $55,000 for your first violation and $110,000 for any subsequent violation that happens after, if you discriminate against people with disabilities.
The Americans with Disabilities Act helps handicapped people better cope with their disabilities and makes public places more accessible to them. All indoor signs displaying bathrooms, stairs, or room numbers are suppose to meet ADA requirements and include braille. Signs for advertising and marketing purposes, temporary signs, and company logos are examples of signs that do not have to comply to ADA code.
