Grand Rapids Custom ADA Signs

What are ADA Signs?

The “Americans with Disabilities Act” is a 1990 federal law passed that prohibits discrimination based on disability. The initial ADA inspired a subsequent federal law and many state laws and municipal regulations. One of the major effects of the ADA is the necessity of signs which are easy to read for everybody.

Uses for ADA Signs

There are over 220,000 people living in the State of Michigan who have a visual disability. As Michigan’s one of largest city, a fair few of those people live in the Grand Rapids area. Without ADA signs, you cannot serve them. Furthermore, by not having ADA complaint signage, your business could be vulnerable to federal, Michigan state, and local municipal fines.

Types of ADA Signs

The biggest factor in making signs ADA compliant is font size. If the restroom signs in your restaurant are too small, people with poor vision won’t be able to read them. Braille is also a key tool in making signs ADA compliant. That brings up placement; ADA signs need to be at the right height to be read with the eyes or the fingers. Lastly, certain color combinations can make signs difficult to read.
