    Make and Install Legally Binding Handicapped Parking Signs

    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:

    Install Legally Binding Handicapped Parking Signs

    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.

    International Symbol of Access

    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.

    Six Specific uses for the ISA Graphic in Canada:

    1. Marking a parking space reserved for vehicles used by people with disabilities/blue badge holders.
    2. Marking a vehicle used by a person with a disability, often for permission to use a space.
    3. Marking a public lavatory with facilities designed for wheelchair users.
    4. Indicating a button to activate an automatic door.
    5. Indicating an accessible transit station or vehicle.
    6. Indicating a transit route that uses accessible vehicles.

    We Can Print Any Road Sign on Aluminum Blanks

    Our custom parking signs are printed on 12" inch and 24"inch aluminum blanks which are industry standard with square or rounded corners. The inks we use are UV-stable. Aluminum Composite Options
    • White Aluminum Composite - Simple yet elegant, this material has a semi-gloss finish that highlights text graphics such as the company name or slogan. This material is also rust-resistant, which makes it suitable for indoor and outdoor use.
    • White Reflective Aluminum Composite – Reflects light thanks to its shiny surface. If you need complete visibility at any time of the day, this is the material to choose.
    • Brushed Aluminum Composite – Signs with this kind of material are made from a UV-printed 3mm brushed aluminum e-panel. Each panel features two aluminum sheets with a reinforced polyethylene core.
    Solid Aluminum Options
    • Solid aluminum offers the same benefits as composite panels and is more durable. It’s also rustproof and will last at least five years, even in the harshest conditions.
    • Reflective Aluminum is recommended for roadside warning signs. It’s strong and durable enough to withstand the elements and can be seen at great distances.

    Things to Consider When Ordering Custom Parking Signs Vaughan, ON

    1. Design: Ensure that print design is easy to read and complies with local regulations if applicable. The design should be simple with high contrast colors for readability. Standard parking signage often uses white text on a blue or green background, or black text on a white background.
    2. Material Selection: Sign Source Solution uses high-quality aluminum sheets that are weather-resistant and sturdy. Aluminum with .040" or .080" thickness are standard for most exterior signs. The latter is more durable and is recommended for signs larger than 2'x2'.
    3. Printing Process: The most used methods for printing on aluminum are UV-cured flatbed printing, dye sublimation, and screen printing. UV printing is a popular choice as it allows for direct printing on the substrate, is quick, and can produce detailed, vibrant results that are resistant to fading.
    4. Inks: Sign Source Solution uses UV-resistant, weather-resistant, and fade-resistant inks to ensure the longevity of your signage.
    5. Protective Coating: After printing, it's best to add a protective layer or clear coat to lengthen the lifespan of the print. This coating will provide additional resistance against weather conditions and UV rays.
    6. Installation Considerations: Consider how the signage will be mounted or installed. You may need to pre-drill holes in the wall, or an aluminum sheet, or depending on the weight, installers might have to use adhesive. Sign Source Solution are expert sign installers.
    7. Maintenance: The signage should be easily cleanable and resistant to graffiti. Use anti-graffiti coatings to ensure easy cleaning if graffiti does occur.
    8. Safety and Compliance: Ensure that all signage is compliant with AODA accessibility standards, or the local and national regulations where you reside.
    Remember that each step in this process contributes to the final quality of your parking signs. Quality materials, the right printing method, and professional design will ensure that your signs last as long as possible and provide clear guidance to drivers for years to come.

    I couldn't be happier with the two signs that I recently had made from here. From start to finish, the entire process was perfectly orchestrated and seamless for their customer. Their team truly nailed the vision I had for my sign. The design they created was very modern, eye-catching and professional. They used colours from my website to create a vibrant gradient so that the sign would stand out more to those who would be walking/driving by. The content was laid out perfectly for maximum readability, and I was even given some advice on how to improve my sign. Avi and his team are a pleasure to work with, they are very professional, attentive, fast in their responses and clearly experts at their craft. If you are in need of high-quality signage and a seamless experience, look no further. I am extremely happy with the results and would always go back for my signage needs.

    We had such a fantastic experience ordering a 5-foot custom fabricated reception sign for our office from Sign Source Solution. The company came highly recommended and both Avi and Nicole were wonderful at every step of the process. Communication was fast, a high quality mockup was provided, the install was quick, and the final product looks AMAZING in our office. I highly recommend Sign Source Solution for similar projects.
