Visibility stands as a cornerstone of effective accessible signage


Signs must be placed at consistent heights and locations so they are easy to find


For people who use wheelchairs or have limited mobility, signs should be mounted between 48 and 60 inches above the floor

Signs should also be positioned where they are clearly visible from a distance and not blocked by furniture, plants, or other objects

The pairing of text and background must create a strong visual distinction to support legibility


White-on-black or black-on-white combinations deliver maximum readability


Avoid using similar colors that blend together, as this can make reading difficult for people with low vision

Font selection is a key determinant of signage effectiveness


Simple, unadorned typefaces such as Futura, Calibri, or Open Sans enhance legibility


8 inch tall for signs that are viewed from a few feet away


All letters should be uppercase for better legibility


Italicized, cursive, or stylized fonts reduce readability and increase cognitive load

Braille dots must be positioned correctly below the text and follow specific spacing rules so they can be read by touch


The braille should be paired with tactile characters, meaning the letters and numbers raised slightly from the sign surface, allowing people who are blind or have low vision to feel them accurately


Ambient lighting must support, not hinder, readability


Signs should be well lit so they can be read in dim conditions


Position signs to prevent direct light sources from shining onto their surface


Position signage away from windows or overhead spotlights that cause glare


Standardization reduces cognitive burden and improves navigation for all users


Symbols such as the universal symbol for accessibility should be used correctly and only where they apply


Avoid custom or abstract graphics that require interpretation


All signs in a building should follow the same format and placement rules so users can predict where to look for information


Following these standards is not just about meeting legal requirements


True design excellence embraces the full spectrum of human ability


They allow individuals to navigate spaces without dependence or embarrassment


Inclusive design serves every user, regardless of age, ability, or circumstance
