One Coordinated Sign System for Rules, Safety, & Accessibility

Rules, hazards, accessible routes, and permanent room information each require a different type of sign. Without a coordinated plan, messages can conflict, routes can become difficult to follow, and important information may be overlooked. We bring these elements together into a consistent facility signage system for employees, customers, visitors, and contractors.

At FASTSIGNS of Austin, TX - Lakeway, we provide custom signage and visual communication solutions for commercial properties, workplaces, and project teams throughout the Austin market. We consider each sign’s purpose, audience, viewing distance, placement, and surroundings rather than treating it as an isolated product.

Call (737) 276-7277 to discuss regulatory signs, safety signs, or accessible signage for your facility.

Signage Project Support From Planning Through Installation

Our team works with you to organize sign locations, messages, formats, and artwork. We also provide graphic design, project management, installation, and survey and permitting services to keep the project moving from initial planning through placement.

A coordinated project may include:

Facility review: Reviewing plans or proposed locations to identify necessary messages and sign types.
Design coordination: Developing artwork, typography, colors, symbols, and pictograms suited to each message.
Material selection: Accounting for indoor or outdoor use, weather, cleaning, glare, abrasion, and mounting surfaces.
Production and installation: Producing approved signs and coordinating placement throughout the property.
Permitting support: Addressing survey and permitting needs when an outdoor sign may require City of Austin review.

Requirements vary by property, purpose, location, and applicable standards. We can use information from your facility team, contractor, architect, or other project professional while managing the visual communication components.

Regulatory & Property Signs for Austin Facilities

Regulatory signs explain how people may enter, park, drive through, or use a property. Depending on the site, they may identify restricted areas, accessible parking, private-road instructions, traffic direction, towing policies, access conditions, and other property rules.

Traffic-related signs may need to account for the Texas Manual on Uniform Traffic Control Devices, commonly called the Texas MUTCD. The 2025 Texas MUTCD took effect on January 18, 2026. Outdoor signage may also require a City of Austin sign permit under the Land Development Code, depending on its type and location.

Safety Signs for Workplaces & Commercial Properties

Safety signs communicate hazards, prohibited actions, required protective measures, emergency information, and operating instructions. The Occupational Safety and Health Administration’s accident-prevention sign standard applies to signs that warn workers or the public about hazards and safety instructions. It excludes street, highway, and railroad signs.

Common safety messages include:

Warnings about electrical, chemical, mechanical, or site-specific hazards.
Instructions for personal protective equipment or restricted access.
Emergency, evacuation, fire-safety, and first-aid information.
Temporary notices for construction, maintenance, or changing conditions.

The appropriate format may combine a signal word, concise hazard description, required action, symbol, or pictogram. The environment and applicable requirements inform both message selection and placement.

Accessible Signage for Rooms, Routes & Entrances

The ADA Standards for Accessible Design establish requirements for signs identifying permanent rooms and spaces. Depending on the sign and facility, considerations may include raised tactile characters, Braille, visual contrast, non-glare finishes, character proportions, mounting location, and clear floor space.

Not every accessible sign follows the same specification. Permanent room identification, directional and informational signage, means-of-egress signs, accessible entrance signs, elevator signs, and parking identification serve different purposes and may be subject to different provisions.

Accessible signage planning may address:

Permanent rooms and spaces, including restrooms and designated room numbers.
Accessible entrances, exits, elevators, and routes through a facility.
Directional and informational messages for visitors and occupants.
Pictograms, tactile text, Braille, contrast, finish, and mounting conditions.

Exact requirements depend on the facility, construction or alteration scope, sign purpose, and standards that apply to the project. Sign production doesn’t replace project-specific review by the appropriate design, construction, or code professional.

Build a Sign Plan Around the Facility and Its Users

A practical plan separates permanent identification from temporary notices, pedestrian messages from vehicle instructions, and employee information from visitor wayfinding. Reviewing the facility as a whole can also reveal inconsistent terminology, duplicate messages, missing room identification, and routes that are difficult to follow.

Before production, consider:

Purpose: Whether the sign identifies, directs, warns, restricts, or provides instructions.
Audience: Whether employees, customers, visitors, contractors, drivers, or pedestrians need the message.
Environment: How weather, cleaning, abrasion, glare, or viewing distance may affect the design.
Duration: Whether the message is permanent, temporary, or likely to require updates.
Installation: Whether mounting surfaces, placement, accessibility, or permitting must be coordinated.
