Running Man Projecting 3D Emergency Exit Signs
A Running Man Projecting 3D Emergency Exit Sign is a wall-mounted PVC sign that identifies an emergency exit from more than one viewing angle. It helps you guide staff, visitors and contractors through indoor corridors, stair approaches and exit door areas before confusion slows escape.
Best positions for this projecting exit sign
You should install this projecting sign above exit doors, corridor junctions and stair approaches where people may approach from either side. Its 3D position keeps the green running man symbol visible before someone reaches the doorway, reducing hesitation during drills or evacuation.
Viewing distance guidance
Use the table as a practical first check, then stand on the actual escape route and test visibility from both approaches. Lighting, door frames, ceiling bulkheads and corridor clutter can all shorten the usable distance, so do not rely on size alone.
| Size option | Practical viewing check | Best suited position |
|---|---|---|
| H 200 x W 200mm | Up to around 10 metres | Above indoor exit doors and corridor approaches |
What should improve once it is fitted
After fitting, the sign should make the exit easier to pick out from both directions, especially for visitors, contractors and staff who are not familiar with the building. The aim is faster recognition, calmer movement and fewer wrong turns when time matters.

Installation Guidance
❌ Mounting it too low, where heads, door closers or stored items can block the symbol.
❌ Placing it away from the actual exit door, creating doubt at the point of decision.
❌ Fixing it at an angle that only helps one direction of travel.
❌ Do not treat it as a glow-in-the-dark sign; it is non-photoluminescent.
❌ Do not use it where an arrowed direction is needed before the final door.
❌ Do not rely on it outdoors or in poor lighting without checking visibility first.
✅ Fit it above the exit door or at the decision point people naturally face.
✅ Check visibility from both travel directions before final drilling.
✅ Keep the surrounding area clear so the green symbol remains easy to recognise.
Frequently asked questions
Is the Running Man Projecting 3D Emergency Exit Sign suitable for a corridor? Yes, it is useful where people approach an exit from more than one direction and a flat wall sign may be missed.
Is this sign photoluminescent? No. This version is non-photoluminescent, so you should use it in indoor areas with suitable normal or emergency lighting.
Does the sign include fixing materials? No. Fixing materials are sold separately, so choose fixings that suit the wall surface and the condition of the substrate.
Can I install it outdoors? The supplied display area is indoors, so do not use it as an outdoor replacement unless your site assessment confirms suitable protection.
When is a projecting sign better than a flat sign? Choose a projecting format when visibility from side approaches matters, such as corridors, stair approaches, reception routes and shared building exits.
