Exit arrow left signs guide staff, visitors and contractors left along escape routes in offices, schools and shared access areas, with clear ISO-compliant direction for safer evacuation
Exit arrow left signs show that people should move left from their current position to stay on the safe escape route. Used on approach to corridor turns, junctions and internal route changes, they help occupants follow a clear evacuation direction in workplaces, public buildings and other shared access areas.
Where Exit Arrow Left Signs Should Be Installed
Install exit arrow left signs where the escape route continues left, such as corridor bends, internal junctions and approach points before a left-hand route change. Wall-mount where people can read the sign early, keep the face free from doors and clutter and use it only where left is the true direction of travel.
- ✅ Use before left-hand route changes.
- ✅ Fix where the sign is readable on approach.
- ✅ Keep clear of doors, glare and obstructions.
Expected Safety Outcomes After Installing Exit Arrow Left Signs
When correctly positioned, this sign reduces hesitation at left-hand route changes, helps occupants recognise the correct escape direction sooner and supports smoother movement along the designated exit route.

Installation Guidance for Exit Arrow Left Signs
Common siting mistakes
- ❌ Do not fit the sign after the turn, when the decision point has already passed.
- ❌ Do not mount it where open doors, shelving or stored items interrupt visibility.
- ❌ Do not place it where another directional sign gives conflicting route guidance.
Choose another option when
- ❌ Do not use this sign if the route goes straight on, right, up-left or down-left.
- ❌ Do not choose a non-photoluminescent version where lighting loss is the main concern.
- ❌ Do not choose self-adhesive if the surface is uneven, damaged or unsuitable for firm bonding.
Best fixing and format advice
- ✅ Choose rigid plastic for a firmer everyday wall-mounted sign.
- ✅ Choose self-adhesive vinyl for smooth, clean internal surfaces needing quick fitting.
- ✅ Position the sign before the route change so occupants commit left without hesitation.
