Wheelchair Entrance Arrow Left Signs guide wheelchair users, visitors and staff towards a left-hand accessible entrance in indoor or outdoor areas, helping you reduce confusion at building approaches.
A Wheelchair Entrance Arrow Left Sign is a blue access information sign showing the wheelchair pictogram, “Entrance” text and a left arrow. It helps wheelchair users, visitors and staff find the correct accessible doorway in schools, offices, public buildings and managed premises without hesitation.
Best Places To Fit This Sign
You should install this sign where a visitor must turn left to reach the accessible entrance, such as car park approaches, reception routes, side entrances, corridors, gates and external walls. Position it before the decision point so the wheelchair pictogram, arrow and “Entrance” text can be seen early.
Viewing Distance Guidance
Choose the larger size where people approach from open areas, parking routes or longer external paths. Use the smaller size where the decision point is closer, such as a corridor turn, entrance lobby or short approach route.
| Size option | Best viewing situation | Practical viewing distance |
|---|---|---|
| H 400 x W 300 mm | Closer doorway, lobby or corridor approaches | Approx. 3–8 metres |
| H 600 x W 400 mm | Longer external routes, car parks and wider building approaches | Approx. 8–15 metres |

✅ Visitors identify the left-hand accessible entrance before reaching the wrong doorway.

Installation Guidance
❌ Placement errors that cause doubt
❌ Fitting the sign after the left turn, when the visitor has already had to guess.
❌ Mounting it too low, too high or behind parked vehicles, doors, planting or furniture.
❌ Using the left arrow where the accessible entrance is actually straight ahead or to the right.
❌ Situations where it is the wrong choice
❌ Do not use it for ramps, lifts, toilets or parking bays unless the entrance itself is being directed left.
❌ Do not rely on it where the accessible route is blocked, locked or not step-free.
❌ Do not install it as a replacement for site-specific access instructions where visitors need extra detail.
✅ Practical fitting that works
✅ Fit it before the decision point so the left arrow can be acted on in good time.
✅ Keep the face clean, upright and square to the visitor’s line of approach.
✅ Use wall, post or wire fence mounting to suit the area, with suitable fixings purchased separately where required.
Frequently asked questions
Does the Wheelchair Entrance Arrow Left Sign only help wheelchair users? No. It is mainly for wheelchair users, but it also helps carers, visitors using mobility aids, staff assisting guests and anyone looking for the accessible entrance.
When should I choose the left arrow version? Use it only when the accessible entrance is reached by turning left from the viewer’s approach direction. If the route is straight ahead or to the right, choose the correct direction instead.
Can this sign be used outside? Yes, the supplied display area is indoors and outdoors. You should still fit it securely and choose fixings that suit the mounting surface and exposure.
Which size should I choose? Use H 600 x W 400 mm for longer approach routes or open areas. Use H 400 x W 300 mm where people are closer to the decision point, such as corridors or entrance lobbies.
Is this a legal compliance sign? It is a DDA information sign designed to support clearer accessible entrance guidance. Do not use it as a substitute for proper accessible route design or formal site assessment.

Useful signs for left-hand access routes
For a non-arrow entrance message, choose standard wheelchair accessible entrance signs where the doorway is directly ahead or already obvious. Good for confirming the correct entrance point.
If the left-hand route includes a slope or ramp, add wheelchair ramp access direction signs to guide users beyond the first turning. Helpful for outdoor routes and building approaches.
Where the route starts from a marked bay, combine it with disabled parking space notices so drivers know where to park before following the entrance instruction. Useful for car parks with multiple nearby doors.
For a broader access parking layout, use disabled bay parking signs for accessible routes to keep parking, ramp and entrance messages aligned. This helps visitors move through the site with less confusion.
