Exit And Arrow Down Left Signs
Exit Arrow Down Left Symbol Signs use the ISO 7010 running man pictogram with a down left directional arrow to guide occupants along escape routes where movement continues forward and descends left. The symbol-only design ensures clear recognition in corridors, staircases and multi-level buildings.
Where Exit Arrow Down Left Signs Should Be Installed
Exit arrow down left signs should be positioned where the escape route continues forward and then descends to the left, such as staircases, split-level corridors and directional changes in buildings. The combined arrow and running man symbol helps occupants follow the correct evacuation route quickly.
