ADA Exit signs

[hans@dha-architects.]

kind of a silly question confirming my answere, but I'm finishing up an apartment building and they're installing the exit signs, building has a central accessible entrance/exit and there are exit stairs on each end of the building connected by a long corridor, the electrical plans called for accessible exit signs at the stair doors on the first floor, one of the stairs exits at grade and ramps down to the parking lot (so that would get the accessible exit sign like the central exit), the other stair discharges onto a landing and then three steps down to the sidewalk, I don't have an area of refuge in the stairwell or outside as the building is sprinklered (but someone in a wheelchair could realistically exit the building onto the landing), so I would assume that accessible directional exit signage would NOT point to that particular exit?

Does this help Hans?

Such symbol shall be not less than 6 inches (152 mm) high and shall be incorporated into the required exit sign or shall be located directly adjacent to it. Such symbol shall meet the requirements of Section 1013.

As at least 2 of your exits need to be accessible, so maybe only 2 get signage...other than the braille that they all get...
