Accessible parking signs
The 2010 ADA Standards require accessible-space signs to be mounted with the bottom of the sign at least 60 inches above the ground, and van spaces to be signed "van accessible" (section 502.6).
Fire lane, reserved and directional signs
Fire lane signs follow your fire department's detail. Reserved, visitor, time-limit and directional signs follow your property rules. Replace bent, faded or missing signs when you restripe so paint and signs tell the same story.
