Female Changing Braille Signs
Female Changing Braille Signs identify a female changing room using raised tactile lettering, Grade 1 braille and a white female symbol on blue. Positioned beside the entrance, they help blind and partially sighted users confirm the room where visual-only information may be harder to use.
Where to Install
Install the sign on the wall immediately beside the female changing room entrance, in a consistent and reachable position where users can locate and touch the raised lettering and braille before choosing or entering the room. Keep the sign unobstructed and separate from unrelated information so its purpose is clear at the decision point.
Viewing Distance
The guidance below is for practical positioning rather than a certified visibility rating. This tactile format is intended mainly for close-range identification, with the braille read by direct touch.
| Sign size | Practical visual approach | Tactile use | Best suited to |
|---|---|---|---|
| H 150 x W 150 mm | Approximately 1–2 metres (about 3–7 feet) | Direct touch at the entrance | Close-range room identification rather than long-distance direction |
Expected Safety Outcomes After Installation
Placed at the changing-room entrance, this sign should make the room function easier to confirm by sight or touch and reduce uncertainty for people who cannot rely on visual wording alone.
