Accessible route signs to support ramp visibility
Where the ramp leads towards a left-hand doorway or route, add wheelchair entrance arrow left signage to guide users after they reach the ramp. Useful for split paths, school sites and reception areas.
For layouts that send people right towards the accessible doorway, use right-facing accessible entrance signs to make the onward route easier to follow. Helpful beside entrances, courtyards and building approaches.
If you also provide dedicated disabled parking bays, install reserved accessible parking bay signs so drivers understand which spaces must remain available. Useful for car parks serving visitors, staff and patients.
To build a clearer route from bay to ramp to doorway, compare options in the disabled access signage category. Helpful when you want consistent access messages across the whole site.
