ADA Signs
“ADA” means Americans with Disabilities Act
“ADA sign” is usually synonymous with “braille sign.”
These signs are designed to make it easier for people with disabilities to navigate the facilities.
Since 1990 they have been required by law to prohibit discrimination against people with
disabilities in all areas of public life.
Most businesses that cater to the public or have more than 15 employees are likely required to
comply with the ADA.
They are typically located by the road or at the entrance of a business for maximum visibility,
catching the eye of anyone who passes by them.
Stairway identification signage is mostly for emergency responders, but it also can be viewed by
crowds moving down the stairway.
