Question : Where should Braille signs be placed?
Answer : Braille signs are important markers of appropriate routes of egress for the visually impaired. Braille signs for exit routes or signs that identify rooms must be placed adjacent to the door they identify. Consult your local fire inspector to ensure you have Braille signs in the appropriate locations in your facility.
