2013 California Standards for Accessible Design Pocket Guide
11B-216.14 Variable message signs.
Where provided in transportation facilities, variable message signs conveying transportation-related information shall comply with Section 11B-703.8. Where provided in buildings that are designed as emergency shelters, variable message signs conveying emergency-related information shall comply with Section 11B-703.8.
ETA Editor's Note
Variable message signs (VMS) were not addressed by the original 2013 CBC. Scoping requirements for VMS were added by creating a new Subsection 11B-216.14 when the July 1, 2015 Supplement was issued. This scoping, which is unchanged in 2016 CBC, except for renumbering, only applies to signs conveying transportation-related information at transportation facilities, and signs conveying emergency-related information at emergency shelters, so this Safe Harbor will have extremely narrow pertinence. The technical requirements for VMS were also added under the July 1, 2015 Supplement by creating new Subsection 11B-703.8, and definitions were added in CBC Chapter 2. These are also unchanged in 2016 CBC.
