Here are key features such compliant Braille signs typically include:

1. Tactile Characters Raised letters/numbers: At least 1/32 inch (0.8 mm) above the surface. Sans serif fonts: Simple, easy-to-read styles without decorative elements. All uppercase: For better tactile readability.

2. Braille Grade 2 Braille: Used in both AODA and ADA compliance. Positioned directly below the corresponding text. Rounded dots: Dome-shaped and properly spaced per standards.

3. Non-Glare Finish Essential to reduce glare and improve visibility under various lighting conditions.

4. High Contrast Text and symbols should contrast with the background for readability (e.g., white on black or black on white).

5. Mounting Requirements Both AODA and ADA specify mounting heights and locations to ensure reachability and visibility.
