Stencil - Disabled - Safety Signs by Caledonia Signs

A disabled stencil, featuring the internationally recognised wheelchair symbol, is used to clearly mark spaces, facilities, or equipment designated for individuals with disabilities. This stencil ensures accessibility signage is applied uniformly, visibly, and in compliance with local or international regulations. Using a stencil for this purpose helps maintain clarity and consistency across different locations, reducing confusion and reinforcing accessibility rights.

These stencils are most commonly used in parking lots to mark accessible parking bays. The wheelchair symbol is applied to the ground in front of or within a designated space to clearly indicate its reserved status. It’s also often paired with vertical signage. Our durable stencils are manufactured from PET or metal allow for repeated use, especially during resurfacing or repainting projects in commercial or municipal parking areas.

In addition to parking, disabled stencils are used in public facilities—such as entrances, restrooms, elevators, or seating areas—to highlight accessible features. This visual guidance ensures that individuals with mobility challenges can quickly identify services designed for their use. Facilities management teams or contractors use these stencils during construction, maintenance, or compliance upgrades.

They’re also valuable in event venues, stadiums, and transport hubs, where temporary or permanent accessible zones need to be marked on pavement, walls, or platforms. A disabled stencil provides a fast, standardised solution that meets legal and functional requirements while promoting inclusivity and ease of access.
