Sign Source Solution has options for all parking signs in all manner of places for all different reasons. Signs can be mounted on brick walls or concrete, stuck on poles in the ground, on asphalt, or cement sidewalks or even placed on grassy lawns.
Toronto’s municipal by-laws require private businesses to reserve a percentage of their available parking for less-advantaged consumers who require more access. Ontario Regulation 191/11 (Integrated Accessibility Standards) made under the Accessibility for Ontarians with Disabilities Act, 2005 requires this outlay as well as an accessible parking permit sign. To be legally binding, the sign shall,
(a) be not less than forty-five centimetres in height and not less than thirty centimetres in width and bear the markings and have the dimensions as described and illustrated in the following Figure:
At the top of the sign, a large letter “P” inside a “no” symbol appears. Below this, the International Symbol of Access appears. This symbol consists of a square containing figure in a wheelchair. Below this, at the bottom of the sign, the phrase “BY PERMIT ONLY” appears. This sign is 30 x 45 cm in size.
The ISA – International Symbol of Access was designed by Danish design student Susanne Koefoed in 1968 for a radical design conference mounted by the Scandinavian Students Organization. It caught on quickly because it’s simple and clever and instantly communicates its meaning.
