What are the advantages of Title 24 California restroom signs?

Compliance

 If you’re located in “The Golden State,” purchasing displays that have been made according to both state and federal guidelines can reduce the chances of your business getting hit by ADA-related fines or lawsuits. Though having the appropriate signage is only one aspect of ADA compliance, it’s extremely important.

Staff and Visitor Satisfaction

Title 24 California restroom signs are designed to ensure accessibility for all individuals, particularly those with visual impairments. By making sure your facility is fitted with ADA-compliant California restroom signs, you can provide an inclusive and welcoming environment for all who visit your business.

Clear Identification

Per state law, restroom signs must include geometric figures that indicate whether the restroom is meant for men, women, or all genders. As natives of “The Golden State” are familiar with these figures, your visitors and staff members will have a much easier time locating the correct washroom.

What features must California restroom signs have?

In addition to following national guidelines for ADA restroom signage, businesses located in California must adhere to the state’s own set of rules under Title 24 of the Building Standards Code.

This means that, in most cases, public facilities must have 2 signs in place to identify each restroom—a geometric display and a federal ADAAG display.

Geometric Display

  • Men’s restrooms are indicated by a 1/4-inch thick equilateral triangle with 12-inch edges.
  • Women’s restrooms are identified by a 1/4-inch thick circle with a 12-inch diameter.
  • The color of the geometric symbols must contrast with the door they’re identifying.
  • Gender pictograms and ISA symbols are not required on the geometric display.

Federal ADAAG Display

  • Standard ADA-compliant Title 24 California restroom signs must have tactile text designating the gender access to the restroom, with the Braille translation directly beneath it.
  • Signage must have domed, Grade 2 Braille with California spacing (0.100 inches between 2 dots in the same cell; 0.300 inches between corresponding dots in adjacent cells; 0.025 to 0.037 inches between corresponding dots from 1 cell directly below).

It’s also important to note that California Assembly Bill 1732 puts forth additional requirements for single-occupancy restrooms in public facilities. Such restrooms are required to be accessible to everyone, which means gender-neutral bathroom signs are needed per AB 1732.

Geometric Display

  • Geometric ADA-compliant California restroom signs for single-occupancy restrooms must be identified by a 1/4-inch thick equilateral triangle with 12-inch edges within a 1/4-inch thick circle with a 12-inch diameter.
  • No pictogram, text, or Braille is required on the geometric display, though graphics are often recommended

Federal ADAAG Display

  • Standard ADA-compliant California restroom signs must have tactile text designating open access (e.g., All Gender Restroom, Unisex Restroom, Restroom), with the Braille translation directly beneath it.

"We have been using Erie Custom Signs for our ADA signage needs since 2013. I can’t say enough about their entire team, everyone from sales, to the art department, to production. We have not sent them a design concept yet, where Erie said “we can’t do that”. Instead they find ways to get it done and make it happen, and within our budget. From pricing, the amzing turn around time, to the quality of the final product, you are not going to find a more professional, friendly and reliable source for your ADA signage needs, than the team at Erie."
