Overview
This sign is the directional companion to the upward-arrow version in this series — and the change in arrow direction is far more than a cosmetic variation. A downward arrow carries a fundamentally different navigational instruction: the smoking area is not ahead or around the corner, it is right here, directly below this sign. This makes it the ideal marker for smoking areas located at ground level beneath a mounted sign, at the base of a staircase, in a sunken courtyard, or in any below-grade or step-down outdoor space that sits lower than the main property level. Where the upward arrow sends visitors on their way, the downward arrow stops them and says: you have arrived, look down, this is the place.
For Los Angeles properties with split-level outdoor areas, below-grade smoking patios, parking structure lower levels, or sunken garden courtyards, this downward-arrow version solves a wayfinding problem that no other sign in the series addresses. It eliminates the moment of uncertainty when a visitor reaches the end of a directional sign’s guidance and still isn’t sure exactly where the designated area begins. The icon at the top identifies the purpose, the text confirms the designation, and the arrow at the bottom closes the navigation loop — pointing directly at the ground-level smoking space below.
Key Features & Benefits
- Downward arrow at the base of the sign indicates the smoking area is directly below — resolving the final step of navigation that upward-arrow signs leave open
- Unique three-element sequence — icon at top, designation text in middle, directional arrow at bottom — creates a complete top-to-bottom wayfinding flow
- Solves a specific navigation problem for split-level properties, sunken courtyards, below-grade patios, and parking structure lower levels
- Green-circle cigarette icon at top provides immediate, language-neutral identification before the text is read
- Vertical 18″ × 24″ format mounts naturally at the top of a staircase, ramp entry, or elevated wall above a below-grade smoking area
- Green border on white field maintains visual consistency with the entire smoking sign series
- Built for permanent outdoor installation — resistant to sun, rain, and temperature extremes
- Ideal for Los Angeles properties with split-level outdoor spaces, sunken smoking patios, below-grade courtyards, and parking structure smoking areas
