In Canada, mounting heights for tactile signs are primarily governed by the CSA B651-18 standard, though many projects also reference the ADA (Americans with Disabilities Act) guidelines to ensure broad accessibility.
According to the local specifications for projects in Regina, the requirements are as follows:
- CSA B651-18 Standard: Signs must be mounted between 1200 mm and 1500 mm (approximately 47 to 59 inches) measured from the floor to the centre of the sign.
- ADA Standards (Often Referenced): Signs are mounted between 48 and 60 inches measured to the baseline of the tactile characters.
Because the Regina Zoning Bylaw largely mirrors the CSA B651 standard, most installations that follow these measurements will satisfy both Canadian and American requirements simultaneously. This positioning ensures that signs are within a comfortable reach and sight range for all individuals, including those using mobility devices.
It is recommended to verify specific requirements with local municipal authorities, such as the City of Regina, before installation to ensure compliance with all local bylaws and permit requirements.
