These rules can be complicated. Let us try to summarize them here for you.

The main requirements covers the visual content, tactile features, and placement/mounting of the signs.

Here is a summary of the key ADA rules for restroom signs, based on the 2010 ADA Standards for

Accessible Design:

• Sign Content and Visual Requirements
• Tactile and Visual Text: Signs that identify permanent rooms and spaces, like restrooms, must
  have both visual characters (for people with low vision) and tactile characters (for reading by
  touch).
• Font: Must be sans serif (no decorative tails) and all uppercase. Decorative, italic, or highly
  stylized fonts are prohibited.
• Size: Raised characters must be between 5/8 inch and 2 inches high.
• Contrast: There must be a high contrast between the characters/pictograms and the background
  (either dark-on-light or light-on-dark).
• Non-Glare Finish: The signs must have a non-glare finish to prevent reflections that can make
  them difficult to read for people with low vision.
• Pictograms: If a pictogram (like a male/female figure) is used, it must be in a field that is at least
  6 inches high and must be accompanied by an equivalent tactile text description below it.
• International Symbol of Accessibility (ISA): The wheelchair symbol must be included on signs
  for restrooms only when not all restrooms in the facility are accessible. If all restrooms are
  accessible, the symbol is usually optional (though often still included by convention).

Tactile Features (Raised Text and Braille)

• Raised Characters: Characters must be raised a minimum of 1/32 inch above the sign's surface.
• Braille: Must be included and is required to be Grade 2 Braille (contracted braille).
• Braille Placement: The braille must be located directly below the corresponding raised characters.

Mounting and Placement
This is one of the most common areas for non-compliance.

Mounting Location On the wall adjacent to the latch side (handle side) of the door.

• Mounting Height (Vertical)
  
  
• The sign must be mounted so that the tactile characters are:Minimum 48 inches
  from the floor to the baseline of the lowest tactile characters Maximum 60 inches
  from the floor to the baseline of the highest tactile character.
• Clear Floor Space
  There must be a clear floor space of at least 18 inches by 18 inches, centered on
  the tactile characters, that is beyond the arc of the door swing. This ensures a
  person can approach and read the sign by touch without being hit by the door.
  Double Doors Rules vary based on door activity. For example, with two active doors, the sign is
  typically mounted to the right of the right-hand door. Mounting on the Door
  Generally not allowed. A sign may only be mounted on the door itself if the door
  swings in (pushes to enter) and has an automatic closer and no hold-open device.

Important Note on State/Local Codes:
While the federal ADA Standards provide the minimum requirements, some states (like California with
Title 24) have their own building codes that may have additional or stricter requirements, such as
different geometric symbols on the restroom door itself (a triangle for men, a circle for women, etc.), in
addition to the wall-mounted sign.14 You should always defer to your local building authority for final
compliance.

Placement and Mounting is one of the most common areas for non-compliance.

Mounting Location

• On the wall adjacent to the latch side (handle side) of the door.

Mounting Height
(Vertical)

• The sign must be mounted so that the tactile characters are:Minimum 48 inches
  from the floor to the baseline of the lowest tactile character.Maximum 60 inches
  from the floor to the baseline of the highest tactile character.

Clear Floor Space

• There must be a clear floor space of at least 18 inches by 18 inches, centered on
  the tactile characters, that is beyond the arc of the door swing. This ensures a
  person can approach and read the sign by touch without being hit by the door.
  Double Doors Rules vary based on door activity. For example, with two active doors, the sign is
  typically mounted to the right of the right-hand door.

Mounting on the Door Generally is not allowed. A sign may only be mounted on the door itself if the door swings in (pushes to enter) and has an automatic closer and no hold-open device

No!
Some signs are purely wayfinding or informational signs and do not require ADA compliancy.

The ADA does not require tactile or Braille elements for signs that are considered temporary or for
general information, including:

• Temporary signs (in use for 7 days or less).
• Building directories.
• Company names or logos.
• Marketing or advertising signs.
• Product or sales descriptions.

ADA Compliant Signage refers to signs that adhere to the technical and scoping requirements of the
2010 ADA Standards for Accessible Design (specifically Chapter 7: Communication Elements and
Features) to ensure that people with vision, cognitive, and physical disabilities can locate and understand critical information.

Compliance is about much more than just putting Braille on a sign; it involves precise rules for
content, appearance, and placement.

At ADAsigns.org we ensured that all our signs with raised text and braille meet the ADA standards for
Accessible design

Restroom signs fall under the category of identifying "permanent rooms and spaces," making them subject to the strictest ADA requirements for both visual and tactile accessibility.

Tactile Requirements (For the Blind or Visually Impaired)

• Raised Characters: Text must be raised a minimum of 1/32 inch from the sign surface.
• Braille: The full text must be repeated in Grade 2 Braille (contracted braille).
• Placement: Braille must be located directly below the corresponding raised characters.
• Font: Raised characters must use a sans serif typeface (simple, non-decorative).
• Case: Text must be all uppercase.
• Size: Raised character height must be between 5/8 inch and 2 inches high.

Visual Requirements (For Low Vision)

• Contrast: There must be a high contrast between the characters/pictograms and the background
  (e.g., dark-on-light or light-on-dark).
• Finish: The sign must have a non-glare finish (matte or eggshell) to prevent reflections that
  obstruct reading.
•  

Pictogram/Symbol Requirements

• Pictogram Field: If gender pictograms (male/female figures) or a Universal/Unisex symbol are
  used, they must be placed in a field that is at least 6 inches high.
• Text Descriptor: Any pictogram must have an equivalent tactile text description and Braille
  located directly below it (e.g., "WOMEN") International Symbol of Accessibility (ISA): The wheelchair symbol is required on the sign only when not all restrooms in the facility are accessible. If all are accessible, it is generally optional.

Local Code Alert: Be aware that some state or local building codes, most famously California's Title 24, require a second sign (often geometric shapes like a circle or triangle) to be mounted directly on the restroom door itself, in addition to the tactile sign on the adjacent wall. Always check with your local authority for these secondary requirements
