California Title 24 Restroom Signs

As of March 1, 2017 CAAB 1732 requires all public single-user toilet facilities to be identified as all gender toilet facilities with compliant Title 24 gender neutral signage.

Why Two Signs?

California Title 24 lists two ways to identify restrooms, both on the door and mounted to the wall. This dual signage was caused by the state adopting accessible restroom requirements even before the Federal Government set its own sign standards in 1990. The symbols had become quite established and the state decided to keep them along with the new ADA requirements.

Non Requirements

Geometric symbols for signs do not require text, Braille, or gender pictograms to be compliant, though they may be included as additional features. Their necessity varies by location and is often determined by local code officials. Signs serve to convey information to specific audiences, commonly through wayfinding both indoors and outdoors, and can vary greatly in form and size based on location and purpose.
