198 Wayfinding and Signing Guidelines for Airport Terminals and Landside
8.1.2 Code of Federal Regulations (CFR)
This is the codification of the general and permanent rules published in the Federal Regis-
ter by the executive departments and agencies of the Federal Government. The CFR is divided
into 50 titles that represent broad areas subject to Federal regulation. Two are referenced in
this document:
Title 14: Aeronautics and Space (also known as the Federal Aviation Regulations (FAR),
administered by the Federal Aviation Administration)
Title 49: Transportation
Examples of regulatory signage under the CFR includes:
· Passenger Rights (limitation of liability, overbooking of flights)
· Security (threat advisory, consent to search, X-Ray system, false statements)
· Transportation of Materials (Hazardous materials, firearms)
· Passenger Notices (tariffs, notice of contract)
· Unlawful Discrimination
8.1.3 United States Code (USC)
The Office of the Law Revision Counsel prepares and publishes the United States Code, which
is a consolidation and codification by subject matter of the general and permanent laws of the
United States. The Code does not include regulations issued by executive branch agencies, deci-
sions of the Federal courts, treaties, or laws enacted by State or local governments. Regulations
issued by executive branch agencies are available in the Code of Federal Regulations.
8.2 Americans with Disabilities Act Accessibility

Reference Chapter 6 accessibility Section 6.8 for information related to the ADA. The ADAAG
contains scoping and technical requirements, including signage, for accessibility to buildings and
facilities by individuals with disabilities under the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) of 1990.
These scoping and technical requirements are to be applied during the design, construction, and
alteration of buildings and facilities covered by Titles II and III of the ADA to the extent required
by regulations issued by Federal agencies, including the Department of Justice and the Department
of Transportation, under the ADA.
State accessibility requirements and standards for ADA signage should also be consulted. In
some cases, state requirements may be stricter than federal requirements.
8.3 Federal Highway Administration (FHWA)
As previously noted in Chapter 3, airports should refer to the Federal Highway Administration's
Manual of Uniform Traffic Control Devices for rules and regulations associated with airport
roadway signing. Airports will also need to look at their individual state manuals.
8.4 State and Local
Airports may be required to post state mandated signs and notices. One example is California
Penal Code Section 602 which requires posting of a notice of prosecution for unauthorized entry,
located prior to entry to airport operations areas. Due to the variety of state requirements, this
