emergency exit
Panic bar gateway
An emergency exit is a door, window, or passage designated for escape during fires, accidents, or other crises.
Buildings mark them with illuminated signs and keep them clear of obstruction.
The flight attendant pointed out the emergency exits.
On planes, passengers in exit rows may be asked to assist others during evacuation.
