The 15-minute animated film reviews and illustrates requirements in the standards for signs and clarifies common sources of confusion. It covers provisions for visual access, tactile signs, required access symbols and other pictograms.
"We're excited to make this resource available so that the provisions for signs are correctly understood and applied," states Marsha Mazz, Director of the Board's Office of Technical and Information Services. "The Board receives many questions on this subject, and the new animation is very effective in answering them."
The signs animation is the latest in a series<http://links.govdelivery.com:80/track?type=click&enid=ZWFzPTEmbWFpbGluZ2lkPTIwMTcwMTI2LjY5MjE5NzIxJm1lc3NhZ2VpZD1NREItUFJELUJVTC0yMDE3MDEyNi42OTIxOTcyMSZkYXRhYmFzZWlkPTEwMDEmc2VyaWFsPTE3MTIwNzgwJmVtYWlsaWQ9aHZyQGRhcmt3aW5nLnVvcmVnb24uZWR1JnVzZXJpZD1odnJAZGFya3dpbmcudW9yZWdvbi5lZHUmZmw9JmV4dHJhPU11bHRpdmFyaWF0ZUlkPSYmJg==&&&101&&&https://www.access-board.gov/guidelines-and-standards/buildings-and-sites/about-the-ada-standards/guide-to-the-ada-standards/animations> produced by the Access Board.

The Board's online guide to the ADA and ABA Standards also features technical bulletins that explain and illustrate requirements and address common questions. Bulletins are currently available on the first five chapters of the standards, including application and scoping, building blocks, accessible routes, accessible means of egress, parking and passenger loading zones, and stairways.
