Clear Signs Make Access Possible

Accessible parking doesn’t stop at painting a symbol on the ground. Without proper signage, both horizontal and vertical, people are left guessing. A designated accessible space must be clearly marked with:

  1. International symbol of access on the pavement,
  2. A vertical sign that’s visible from a distance,
  3. Directional arrows at the car park or entrance to guide people to the space,
  4. Placement that avoids creating hazards.
A beige building parking lot with two clearly marked accessible parking spaces, each with the international symbol of access on the ground and vertical signs beside them. Directional arrows on the pavement guide people toward “Reception” and “Parking.” The signs are placed safely and visibly to avoid hazards.
A well-marked (signage) accessible parking spot isn’t extra, it’s essential.

It’s not just about rules, it’s about dignity, clarity and equal access. When people can see where to park, they can get where they need to go.

It’s about welcoming customers, clients and communities that would otherwise turn away. A mother with a stroller, an elderly person using a cane, someone recovering from surgery, clear signage helps them all.

Good and clear signage is a low-cost investment that removes high-impact barriers and opens the door to high-value relationships. Think of it as part of the invitation into your space, because access begins with being seen and guided. That’s a smart investment.

Every clear sign says: You are welcome here.
