Which States Need Specific Elevator Signage?

Certain states and cities like California and NYC require special signage for elevators. In New York City, evacuation maps have to be placed directly above the elevator call button, while in California, these elevator evacuation plans have to be adjacent to it. These maps have to specify exactly where to go and how to use the stairs in case of an emergency.

That’s not all the elevator safety signage that these states require, however. NYC elevators have to have ID signs above the evacuation maps to signify each elevator bank. These alphabetical signs help to signify which elevators serve which floors in huge, sprawling NY complexes.

California is even more stringent, as each floor of your complex or building needs two elevator floor number signs. One floor number sign goes on each side of the door jamb, and ground floors need floor number signs marked by stars, too. On top of that, the elevator floor number signs have to have white raised characters against black backgrounds.
