Coordinate Required Signage with Your Interior
A required tactile exit message doesn’t have to look like an afterthought. EXIT RAMP UP signs are available in multiple design collections, allowing facilities to coordinate life safety identification with nearby room, directional, and interior signs.
Compare options based on the details that matter for your project:
- Design Collection: Select a style that coordinates with signage already used throughout the facility.
- Colors and Finishes: Choose combinations that complement the interior while maintaining the required visual contrast.
- Tactile Identification: Raised characters and braille provide the required accessible message.
- Mounting and Environment: Review individual product specifications for installation method and recommended use.
For larger projects, using the same collection across required door identification can help maintain a consistent sign system without sacrificing the specific message each location requires.
Check the Route Before You Order
EXIT RAMP UP is not a general label for any exit near a ramp. The required wording is based on the route occupants follow after passing through the door.
Under the 2025 California Building Code, an exit door that is required to have exit identification and leads directly to a grade-level exterior exit by means of a ramp is identified with EXIT RAMP UP when occupants travel up the ramp.
Before ordering, confirm that:
- occupants travel up the ramp after passing through the identified door;
- the ramp leads directly to the grade-level exterior exit; and
- EXIT RAMP UP is the required tactile message for that specific egress condition.
If the route configuration differs, review Exit Route Signs for the appropriate tactile exit message.
Exit Ramp Up Sign Requirements
California Building Code Section 1013.4 requires tactile exit signs at specified exit doors and expressly includes EXIT RAMP UP as one of the required messages for doors leading directly to a grade-level exterior exit by means of a stairway or ramp, as appropriate. The code also requires these raised character and braille exit signs to comply with applicable California accessibility provisions.
Review the 2025 California Access Compliance Advisory Manual when planning California exit signage. The 2025 California Building Code became effective January 1, 2026.
Confirm the route, required message, and project-specific requirements with the building official, fire marshal, or other authority having jurisdiction before ordering.
Coordinate Your Exit Route Signage
EXIT RAMP UP identification works as one part of the facility’s overall egress system. Coordinate the tactile door message with other required Exit Signage so occupants receive the appropriate identification and directional information throughout the route.
