Exit Arrow Left Vandal Resistant Signs
Exit arrow left vandal-resistant signs direct people left from their current position to stay on the safe escape route. They are best suited to exposed corridors, public-access areas, service yards and other locations where standard signs may be damaged, marked or tampered with during everyday use.
Where Exit Arrow Left Vandal-Resistant Signs Should Be Installed
Install these signs where the escape route turns left and the sign may face rough treatment, such as public walkways, outer access routes, service yards, schools, stations and busy circulation areas. Wall-mount at normal sight level, keep the face unobstructed and place it before the route change so people can react early.
- ✅ Use before left turns on escape routes.
- ✅ Fix where the sign stays visible from approach.
- ✅ Keep clear of doors, clutter and impact points.

Installation Guidance for Exit Arrow Left Vandal-Resistant Signs
Common positioning mistakes
- ❌ Placing the sign after the left turn instead of before it.
- ❌ Mounting too high or too low for natural eye-line visibility.
- ❌ Installing where doors, vehicles or equipment can block the view.
When this installation is not suitable
- ❌ Do not install where the route does not clearly turn left.
- ❌ Avoid use where diagonal or straight-ahead direction is required.
- ❌ Avoid locations where lighting conditions require a photoluminescent sign.
Best practice fixing and setup
- ✅ Position before the route change for early decision-making.
- ✅ Fix securely to a stable wall surface using appropriate fixings.
- ✅ Ensure clear line of sight from the main direction of travel.
Exit Arrow Left Vandal-Resistant Signs Questions Answered
What does an exit arrow left vandal-resistant sign mean? It tells people that the safe escape route continues to the left from where they are currently standing or approaching.
Where should this type of sign be installed? It is best fitted before a left turn on an escape route, especially in exposed public-access or outdoor-facing areas where ordinary signs may be damaged.
When should I choose vandal-resistant instead of a standard sign? Choose it when the site has a history of tampering, scratching, graffiti, weather exposure or repeated impact that would shorten the life of a standard sign.
Is this the right choice for low-light escape routes? Not always. This version is non-photoluminescent, so a glow-in-the-dark format is usually the better option where lighting failure or poor visibility is the main concern.
How far away can this sign usually be read? At H 150 x W 300 mm, an indicative viewing distance is around 15 metres in normal externally illuminated conditions, though final siting still depends on layout, lighting and line of sight.
