You have also asked whether signs such as exit signs need to
be in Braille as well as print. Under the Design Standards,
signs that designate permanent rooms and spaces, including exit
signs, must be in Grade 2 Braille and meet other specific design
standards. Informational signs and signs that provide direction
to functional spaces of the building do not have to be in Braille
but have to meet other requirements. Please refer to Design
Standard section 4.1.2.(7) at page 35,612 (scoping provisions for
new construction), and section 4.30 at page 35,659 (design
standards for signage) for more detailed information. UFAS does
not require signage to be in Braille. Please refer to UFAS
sections 4.1.2(15) and 4.30 (signage) at pages 6 and 47,
respectively.
