How to use the gallery
Each example shows a real photo with annotations pointing to the specific ADA standard cited. If you're remediating after a compliance check, the gallery helps you brief your sign shop on exactly what to produce. Sign shops can use the gallery as a customer-facing reference to clarify what compliant signage actually looks like.
