Clear, easy to read/understand restroom signage helps people locate the restroom(s) and helps prevent people from being in an embarrassing situation. Most restroom signs convey simple images (pictograms), often in contrasting black and white, that convey the purpose or functionality of the restroom. For example, women are depicted in triangle shapes (imagery that most people associated with a skirt), men are depicted without this added triangle shape and children are often holding hands between a man and a woman. If the restroom is handicap equipped, the image of an individual sitting in a wheelchair is most common.
