Signage Guidelines and Sign Makers
The Accessible Signage Guidelines 5th Edition recommends best practice for design of signage which is usable by blind and low vision people, including those who are deafblind. They were prepared by Blind Low Vision NZ and are endorsed by BANZAT and organisations of blind consumers. A print-ready PDF of this document contains diagrams and photographs, which will aid the signage industry and general public in understanding the technical aspects of the material. The correct treatment of macrons in Te Reo Māori is explained. In 2013 they have been incorporated into the NZ Building Code Section F8 Signage, and form an “acceptable solution” for compliance.
Companies that produce accessible Braille and large print signs are listed on the website of Blind Low Vision NZ.
