Connecticut ADA sign requirements

Yes that is correct.
I am looking in the Grimco catalog if that helps page 83 Standard Braille signs for ADA compliance
Wheelchair symbol above the wording ACCESSIBLE and the EXIT sign has a figure running towards a door..
Pictogram and Braille are raised 1/32" and Letters are 11/16" tall.
Thank you.

I NEVER deal with Grimco, can you post a pic so i can have a quick look to see if they are actually complaint?

Since 2008, California has required these signs at all illuminated EXIT... So we have EXITE, EXITE ROUTE, EXIT STAIR UP, AND EXIT STAIR DOWN requirements. I believe Washington and Florida require something similar, but not 100% sure....

Areas where you actually exit the building are required (officially in March, 2012 unless required by your state - Connecticut is actually not one of them on a public facility) to have a braille and tactile "EXIT" sign

Wow! That's a lot of signs! We don't have those strict requirements on the east coast.........yet :)

Man those are ugly signs...

As long as the running guy, and the wheel chair guy are in a 6" field, you should be okay. But I would order the Blue wheelchair guy sign in case you have a weenie inspector.

On the exit sign, yo do not need the running man, that is usually a european requirement...

(don't ask me why I know this crap, I really only want to make pretty pictures!!!)

Yep they are ugly however in order to get their C/O they need them quick.I agree with you 100%. They are calling for Generic and time is against a unique designed ADA type sign. You should see some of the other Signs they shove in their facility it is Scary!
I appreciate your help and time and all other parties who helped me out in this.
:U Rock:
Thank you and have a great evening!
