Would you allow this modification to an ADA parking sign? It meets the minimum requirements.

Same as Mark graphics and wording is regulated

Now if on non handicap spaces do not see why not
 
502.6 Identification. Parking space identification signs shall include the International Symbol of Accessibility complying with 703.7.2.1.

703.7.2.1 International Symbol of Accessibility. The International Symbol of Accessibility shall comply with Figure 703.7.2.1.

Pictogram that shows the simplified profile of a person seated in a wheelchair.

Figure 703.7.2.1 International Symbol of Accessibility

This is the International Symbol of Accessibility, this is what is required at a parking space.

Would they be sued, probably not, But I pay for E & O insurance, as a licensed Architect.

You maybe protected by your jurisdiction
 
Note: No outline border added/required.

3 x 3 field, border is additional. (Does the code language actually imply the dimension of the ISA as opposed to the field?)

Some may sue you if 3 x 3 to outside edge of border (picky? but technically incorrect)

Are you talking signage? pavement Marking?

And under what code/standard?
 
Unique take on a "wayfinding sign". Could I then substitute a bucking bronco for a Rodeo or bowling pins for an alley?

For those without access to the CBC

11B-S02.6.4.1 The parking space shall be marked with

an International Symbol of Accessibility complying

with Section 11B-703.7.2.1 in white on a blue background

a minimum 36 inches wide by 36 inches high
 
Finally got in contact with ADAAG and they did not see a problem with it since the requirement has been met, course they would not put it in writing. Sounds like when I call ICC. l

How can you talk to the " ADAAG"? Do you know what ADAAG means?

I wish the ISA could be updated a little, this one is great: http://accesssymbol.com/

It can but remember that the ISA is an international symbol. We cannot even ratify an international treaty on accessibility. How can we now go to the international community and ask them to modify the symbol that we won't endorse.

What are we supposed to be "citizens of the world"?
