Room signs must be no higher than 5 feet.

ADA Accessibility Guidelines (ADAAG) Section 4.30.6

The law requires that signs be centered at 60 inches maximum above the finished floor or ground surface. The Accessibility Guidelines Section 703.4.1 and ANSI A117.1 703.3.10 require that tactile characters on signs shall be located 48 inches minimum above the finish floor or ground surface, measured from the baseline of the lowest tactile character and 60 inches maximum above the finish floor or ground surface, measured from the baseline of the highest tactile character. Most standards require the signage placed on the wall adjacent to the latch side of the door, where wall space permits this installation.
