exit signs

Overhead departure indicators

Exit signs are illuminated markers indicating the location of emergency exits in buildings, vehicles, and other enclosed spaces.

Typically glowing green or red depending on the country, they guide people toward safety during evacuations.

Building codes require them in commercial and public spaces: The exit signs led us through the smoke-filled hallway.
