This High-Speed Handicapped Service Waiting Area signage seems a bit contradictory. Icons along the queue to the service area seem to indicate a speedy process. Closer to the service counter itself is a Handicapped Waiting pictogram with non-handicapped seating. FixturesCloseUp found the wait queue a mixed bag of both populations. But the line did keep…
This Elegant VIP Handicapped Emblem at Nordstrom lets you know that you are special beyond your disability. Stylishly designed yet tastefully sized, it advises that all you need for comfort and convenience is contained within, appropriately sized, and correctly positioned by height and reach. Not all Fitting Rooms were marked this way, so take a…
No mistaking you are in the correct facility with this Restroom Handicapped Stall Interior ID Confirmation. Why a Handicapped icon sign inside the stall? Keep in mind that when unoccupied, the stall door is open outward, with the Handicapped icon visible to approaching users. But it did take me a few seconds to understand the…
This Two-Way Handicapped Door Entry-Exit Control is large, easy to see overall, easily targeted, and positioned at a height in easy reach of all. But surely larger directional arrows and wheelchair patrons facing the correct direction would communicate better, particularly to any of the disabled user community with vision or perception problems. Still, this Two-Way…
One wonders at the (R) Trademark of this Wong-Baker Emoji Faces Pain Management Rating Scale. FixturesCloseUp assumes the challenge of creating a 6-step smiley-frowny face gamut was a difficult one, and worth protecting legally. It surely would be demeaning to Wong-Baker if the little guys escaped firm control and ran rampant across the internet, iPads,…
This One-Way Handicapped Door Entry Control is oversized, easy to see, easily targeted, and positioned at a height for easy reach by all. But do note this is your way in through two successive inward-opening automatic doors. Seemingly, no exit is allowed. But compare to the nearby Two-Way Handicapped Door Entry-Exit Control, via the link…
This Wave to Open Door And Physically Say Goodbye message is a double-edged sword. Provided for the ease of disabled and handicapped to exit the facility, a simple gesture both swings wide the door and gestures to the staff you are leaving. See that the sensor explains itself. But the larger wall message calls attention…

Parker UL-Rated ADA-Compliant Handicapped Hardware Door Outfitting display at Mariotti Building…
You go this way; I’ll go that, says this directional Harbor Freight Handicapped Entrance Run-Around Detour. To the right is a narrow handrail-defined entrance for all who can stand and walk. To the left is a wider entry for wheelchair and walker-aided shoppers. It was not immediately apparent why the division of traffic, unless hidden…
