fire exit
Escape route out
A fire exit is a door or passage designated for emergency evacuation, typically marked with illuminated signs and required to remain unobstructed.
Fire exits lead directly outside or to a stairwell, bypassing elevators: The theater has fire exits on both sides of the building.
Building codes mandate their number and placement based on occupancy.
