Why Is It Important To Have ADA Signs?

• 61 million people in the U.S. live with a
  disability, according to the CDC. Those who have
  some type of disability may need help finding
  their way around a shopping mall, using the
  restrooms, avoiding slippery floors, and the
  like. Simple daily tasks that many take for
  granted, may not be as easy for others.
• The Americans with Disabilities Act has helped to
  change that. Now, most commercial and public
  spaces must install ADA signs (or accessible
  signs). These signs are vital for a large
  portion of the population and essential for your
  business.
• Learn more about the four important reasons why
  you need to have accessible signs at your
  business and how an experienced sign company that
  prepares ADA signage near you can help.
• Making Sure You Dont Discriminate Against
  Individuals with Disabilities
• Accessible signs help people with disabilities
  feel safe and comfortable in your establishment.
  These vital signs allow people with visual and
  mobility impairments to move around your premises
  on their own.
• These signs also keep people safe, for instance,
  warning them of stairwells and hazards. Other
  signs such as ADA washroom signs are essential
  for helping people find washrooms on their own.
  These crucial signs can have a significant impact
  on your visitor experience.
• 2. ADA Signs Make Spaces Accessible for People
  with All Types of Disabilities
• It is a common misconception that accessible
  signs are only beneficial for people with visual
  impairments. Well-designed signs help people with
  other disabilities, such as hearing, mobility,
  and cognitive disabilities, navigate your
  business.

• Custom ADA signs can be tailored to fit the needs
  of people with various disabilities, using
  different features within their design. Here are
  some examples of how you can customize your ADA
  signs to ensure that they are complaint
• High-contrast design  This makes the sign
  immediately noticeable to everyone and helps them
  find accessible paths around the building.
• Loop system symbols  These symbols notify people
  that the equipment or facility is equipped with a
  T-system (telecoil), making it accessible for
  those who are hearing impaired.
• Wheelchair accessible ramps  These signs are
  installed in parking lots and by staircases to
  inform those who are in a wheelchair of a safe
  and accessible way to get around.
• 3. Show Customers and Visitors You Value Their
  Business
• With 26 of Americans having at least one
  impairment, thats a large portion of the
  population you cannot afford to ignore.
• If you dont install accessible signs, people
  without impairments may not notice them. However,
  people with disabilities definitely will. It can
  convey a poor impression about your business,
  making it look as if you dont value all your
  customers. Make your customers feel welcomed and
  valued with custom ADA signs.
• 4. Dont Risk Getting Fined (or Shut Down)
• If you dont install the requisite accessible
  signs at your business, you could be looking at a
  hefty fine. You can even get sued, or face
  closure, if you dont have the right signs
  displayed.

• ADA signs are required by law to be installed in
  any government, public, and commercial building.
  These regulations also apply to all new buildings
  and those that have been renovated after 2012.
• You need to ensure that you have proper
  accessible signage. A design printed off the
  internet on a piece of paper wont do. There
  are stringent requirements for ADA signs, meaning
  there are regulations that govern
• How the signs should look.
