A braille parking sign would be an oxymoron. But governments are well known for that.

Each state is different, probably each town also, so I have no advice except to check with city hall. Also drive around a bit and see what is installed in that area.

Cindy, I use Grimco for disabled parking signs. They do have state specific ones, but I don't see one for Oregon. They have them for California & Nevada & several other states. Generally they are 12" x 18" alum. or steel screen printed signs.
Only once a construction company specified which Illinois Dept of Transportation sign was required & I ordered it form Grimco. Their web address is www.grimco.com. I'm sure there are other companies Grimco is who I use. Hope this helps.

Yep, Grimco is who we use too. They have the signage labeled by state for some of the quirky regs you run into. I also buy the steel posts from them too. I include these with my package.

Thanks all. The specs say that the sign has to conform to CA regs, so if they have a CA one, I can order that. The architect is from CA, so all his specs are CA oriented. Wonder what will happen when inspection time comes. CA usually has a lot more regs than OR, although OR is no picnic when it comes to following ordinances.

The guy is coming in today with his paperwork, so wanted to be able to discuss this while he is here. I'll check out the website now.

Thanks again,
Cindy M

Don't forget about the braille on the drive up bank machines. :S
