exit sign

Glowing escape marker

An exit sign is a illuminated or reflective marker indicating the location of an emergency exit in a building.

Exit signs are required by fire codes in commercial and public spaces, typically mounted above doors or along escape routes.

The glowing green or red signs become crucial during emergencies when normal lighting fails: Follow the exit signs to the stairwell.
