Useful access signs for side routes and step-free entrances
When the route includes a ramp, use a simple ramped access sign to confirm the step-free approach. Helpful for visitors approaching from car parks, pavements or external paths.
If the accessible route continues behind the premises, add rear accessible entrance signs so people do not stop at the wrong side door. Useful for buildings with service yards or rear visitor access.
To plan the full route, compare accessible property route signs across the wider range. This helps you match side access, ramp access and doorway identification clearly.
Where visitors need to turn right towards the entrance, combine this with an accessible entrance arrow right sign for more precise direction. Ideal for paths, corridors and approach routes with more than one option.
For the final doorway, place clear disabled entrance signs where visitors need immediate reassurance. A practical choice for healthcare, education, hospitality and workplace entrances.
