About this block

Two versions of the wheelchair user symbol stand side by side. The right-hand one is the pictogram everybody knows, drawn as a continuous outline with a round head, a bent back, the arm across the push rim, the leg on the footplate and a thick ring for the wheel. The left-hand one is the same figure reduced to single lines and one large circle. Only the right symbol is a block reference; the left is 15 loose lines and 3 arcs.

Accessibility symbols turn up on parking bay markings, WC and lift door plates, ramp and refuge details, signage schedules and floor plans. The pair spans 2.66 by 1.53 m as drawn, which is signage scale rather than a real chair, so treat both as graphics: scale the outline version to whatever your signage schedule calls for, commonly 100 to 150 mm on a door plate and around a metre for a painted bay.

Use the closed outline wherever the symbol will be filled: a solid hatch inside it gives you the white-on-blue plate without any trimming or extra boundary. Keep the single-line version for small-scale plans, where a filled pictogram would clog and read as a blob. Put both on your symbols layer rather than the entourage layer, so they stay visible on the drawing after every human figure has been frozen for the construction issue.

Questions

Are both symbols blocks?

Only the outlined one. The simpler version is loose lines and arcs, so window-select it and make it a block before you copy it around.

How do I size the symbol for a parking bay?

Scale by reference to the height your local marking standard calls for, often about a metre, and check it against the bay dimensions.
