Description

Overview

This 14″ × 7″ horizontal sign introduces a diagonal directional element — a bold white arrow pointing down and to the left, paired with the ISO 7010 running figure and white door silhouette on the right half of a full-bleed green panel. The diagonal arrow communicates a specific spatial instruction: the exit is below and to the left of the sign’s current mounting position. This is the correct directional marker for staircase descents, ramp entrances, below-grade exit routes, and split-level floor transitions where the path to egress involves both a lateral and a downward change in elevation — a scenario that a horizontal arrow alone cannot accurately represent.

In multi-story Los Angeles commercial buildings, parking structures, hotels, and mixed-use developments, egress routes frequently involve stairwells that descend from an upper floor to a ground-level exit. Mounting a horizontal left-arrow sign at the top of a staircase landing is technically correct but spatially incomplete — it tells occupants to go left but not down. The diagonal down-left arrow resolves this ambiguity precisely, guiding occupants both in direction and in elevation change within a single glance.

Key Features & Benefits

Diagonal down-left arrow communicates both lateral direction and elevation descent — the angled arrow conveys a change in floor level, making it the correct sign for staircase entrances, descending ramps, and below-grade egress routes where a horizontal arrow would be spatially incomplete.
Arrow scale matches the exit pictogram to prevent directional ambiguity — the white diagonal arrow fills the left half of the panel at the same visual weight as the ISO running figure on the right, ensuring both elements are processed with equal speed.
ISO 7010 running figure facing left reinforces the diagonal arrow’s directional intent — the figure’s movement direction aligns with the arrow’s leftward component, providing dual visual confirmation that the egress route tracks left and downward.
Fills the staircase-head wayfinding gap in a complete egress sign system — horizontal directional signs cannot accurately represent descending routes; this diagonal variant is the functionally correct complement for multi-level building egress systems.
Full-bleed green background maintains safe-condition color recognition at distance — the all-green field identifies the sign category from the far end of a corridor or landing before the arrow direction can be resolved.
Compact 14″ × 7″ format suits staircase landing walls and above-door corridor mounting — the horizontal panel installs efficiently at staircase entrances without obstructing doorways, handrails, or adjacent signage.
Reflective option is essential for stairwell and below-grade applications — reflective printing ensures the directional arrow remains visible under emergency lighting and flashlights when building power fails.
Maxmetal® construction handles outdoor fence-line exposure — moisture-resistant and warp-proof for stairwells, parking structure corridors, and exterior-adjacent hallways.
