Overview

Of all the directional variants in the smoking area wayfinding series, the left-arrow version serves one of the most specific and common real-world navigation scenarios — the smoking area is down the hall, around the corner, or through a side passage to the left. Where the upward arrow sends visitors straight ahead and the downward arrow marks an arrival point, the left arrow actively redirects foot traffic at a decision point, catching visitors at the exact moment they need to change direction and steering them toward the smoking area before they continue the wrong way and end up smoking somewhere they shouldn’t.

This sign is particularly valuable when mounted at T-intersections, lobby branching points, corridor junctions, and building exits where the smoking area lies to the left of the natural pedestrian flow. A single well-placed left-arrow sign at the right decision point can eliminate the need for staff to redirect guests repeatedly throughout the day — it does the redirecting automatically and consistently, every time. For Los Angeles properties managing guest flow across large footprints — hotels with smoking areas at a side wing, entertainment venues with designated smoking zones off the main corridor, office campuses with smoking shelters accessed via a side path — this sign closes the gap in the wayfinding chain that the other directional variants leave open.

Key Features & Benefits

  • Left-pointing arrow actively redirects foot traffic at corridor junctions, lobby branches, and building exit points
  • Most useful at T-intersections and decision points where the smoking area lies to the left of the natural pedestrian flow
  • Eliminates repeated staff redirection by providing clear, autonomous left-turn guidance at key navigation moments
  • Green-circle cigarette icon at top identifies the sign’s subject instantly before text or arrow are processed
  • Three-element vertical flow — icon, designation text, directional arrow — creates a logical top-to-bottom reading sequence
  • Vertical 18″ × 24″ format mounts cleanly on corridor walls, lobby columns, and junction-adjacent surfaces at eye level
  • Built for permanent outdoor and indoor installation — resistant to sun, rain, and temperature extremes
  • Ideal for Los Angeles hotels, entertainment venues, office campuses, and large commercial properties where the smoking area is accessed via a left-turn from the main pedestrian path
