Is Your Business Signage ADA Compliant? Ensure Accessibility with Proper Signage Standards

Signs and graphics are a crucial way for businesses to convey a message to customers or potential customers. They can be eye-catching designs that aim at drawing in new business, or they can provide guidance as customer’s navigate your space. No matter the message, you should be intentional with the signs you use to maximize your customer experience for everyone. Maintaining ADA compliance with the signage in your space is one way to communicate with customers that you are committed to accessibility and inclusivity while avoiding potential legal repercussions.

What is ADA Compliance and Why is It Important for Businesses?

The American Disabilities Act (ADA) established regulations to support, protect, and expand the rights of people with disabilities. Compliance with the ADA prevents discrimination and ensures equal access to services and opportunities. Any business open to the public falls under ADA Title iii.

Whether you are a non-profit, a store, or a restaurant, providing proper accommodations with your signage will help you pass ADA inspection and build trust with your customers. Overlooking ADA requirements for signage could result in fines or even potential litigation, so it’s important to ensure compliance.

ADA Standards for Signs

The Department of Justice (DOJ) issued ADA Standards that provide minimum guidelines for accessibility. The information in the standards on signs is extensive, covering many specifications like using raised characters, braille, visual signs, sign installation height and location, pictograms, and so much more. 

By partnering with a company like Pinnacle Signs, you can be sure that when we create signage for our clients we are aware of the ADA Standards for signs and can make sure you are in compliance. We follow these guidelines so your finished product will pass ADA inspection and promote accessibility to your customers. 

What Signs Need to Meet ADA Standards?

The Standards apply to signs that are used to identify accessible spaces or elements, or signs that indicate room numbers and labels. There are visual and tactile requirements depending on where a sign is located and the purpose of the sign. Not sure if your business needs signage that follows ADA standards? Turn to trusted signage professionals like the team at Pinnacle. It’s our job to understand and follow these guidelines, so you can be sure you’ll have the signs you need without the stress of worrying about compliance.
