Braille Signs Explained
From 2004 it was made unlawful, for those providing services directly to the public, to do so on different
terms to a disabled (blind / partially sighted) person. In short, this means more and more businesses and
organisations are having to become DDA compliant by installing Braille & Tactile Signs. Braille & Tactile
signs are designed to be used by blind, partially sighted people and normally sighted people. They looks
similar to a normal sign, but some subtle differences as shown below. DDA 1995 has now been updated
by the Equality Act 2010
The features above allow partially sighted people to see or follow the the raised lettering or graphics.
The braille is used by the blind when using the sign. The position on the wall is also very important in
terms of position. (See Below)
