Accessible information and signage aim to remove barriers and provide equal access to travel information for individuals with disabilities, ensuring an inclusive and enjoyable travel experience for all.

Excessive decorative elements can make signage visually cluttered and difficult to understand, especially for individuals with visual impairments. Simplicity and clarity are key principles in accessible signage design.

A font size of 18 points or larger is recommended for signage intended for individuals with low vision to ensure legibility and ease of reading.

To make audio announcements accessible to individuals with hearing impairments, it is important to use a clear and concise speaking voice, provide visual cues such as flashing lights or vibration alerts, and repeat important announcements multiple times.

Tactile signage, such as raised lettering and braille, is designed to provide directional information and other important messages to individuals with visual impairments, enabling them to navigate and access information independently.

When making information accessible to individuals with cognitive disabilities, it is important to avoid complex and abstract concepts that may be difficult to understand. Simple and easy-to-understand language, clear instructions, and the avoidance of jargon and technical terms are recommended practices.

Signage intended for individuals using wheelchairs should be placed at a height of 48 inches (122 cm) above the ground to ensure that it is easily visible and accessible to wheelchair users.

Tactile paving, also known as detectable warning surfaces, is an example of a tactile ground surface indicator designed to provide tactile cues and warnings to individuals with visual impairments, particularly at intersections and other potentially hazardous areas.

A color contrast ratio of 4:1 is recommended for signage intended for individuals with color blindness to ensure that text and symbols are easily distinguishable from the background.

While sans-serif fonts, avoiding justified text alignment, and using high-contrast colors are recommended practices for making signage accessible to individuals with dyslexia, excessive bolding and underlining can make text more difficult to read and should be avoided.

Alternative text (alt text) is provided for images in accessible information and signage to describe the visual content of the image to individuals with visual impairments, enabling them to understand the context and meaning of the image.

While clear and concise language, avoiding sudden changes in lighting or sound, and providing visual cues and prompts are recommended practices for making signage accessible to individuals with autism spectrum disorder (ASD), excessive animations and flashing lights can be overwhelming and distracting, and should be avoided.

A line spacing of 2.0 is recommended for signage intended for individuals with dyslexia to improve readability and reduce visual clutter.

When making signage accessible to individuals with intellectual disabilities, it is important to avoid excessive jargon and technical terms that may be difficult to understand. Simple and easy-to-understand language, clear instructions, and the use of visual aids and symbols are recommended practices.

Sans-serif fonts are recommended for signage intended for individuals with dyslexia as they are easier to read and distinguish, particularly for individuals with visual processing difficulties.
