directional sign

Arrow showing path

A directional sign indicates which way to go—pointing toward exits, restrooms, parking, or specific destinations.

These signs use arrows, symbols, or text to guide movement through unfamiliar spaces: Follow the directional signs to baggage claim.

Highways, hospitals, airports, and campuses rely heavily on directional signage to keep people oriented.
