Find out what ADA signs are, who these signs can help, and why they might be necessary for you to use in your American Fork business to avoid being fined.
The “Americans with Disabilities Act” (ADA) is a 1990 US federal law designed to eliminate ableist discrimination. The initial federal law has inspired a subsequent federal law and numerous state and even municipal ADA laws. ADA laws affect signage because they dictate that your American Fork business must have certain signs that are easy to read for everybody in order to comply with federal, state, and municipal ADA laws.
According to the National Federation of the Blind, there are approximately 55,000 Utahans who have a visual disability of some kind. How many of them live in the Provo-Orem metropolitan area? More than a few, certainly. If you don’t have ADA signs, your business or organization cannot serve potentially thousands of customers. Moreover, you might even be the subject of government fines for not having proper ADA signs.
For ADA signs to work properly, they must be installed in high-visibility and accessible locations. They should have large text and avoid certain color combinations which might be indistinguishable to people with a color blindness. Another important facet of ADA signage is braille, which is an alphabet people can read with their fingers.
