Overview

This 14″ × 7″ horizontal sign features a bold white up-right arrow on the right half of a full-bleed green panel, with the ISO 7010 running figure and white door silhouette positioned on the left half. The figure-left layout creates a natural compositional alignment — the running figure faces rightward toward the arrow, with both elements tracking toward the same upper-right destination. This visual coherence between pictogram and arrow produces a stronger directional reading than layouts where the figure and arrow face opposing directions, making the egress instruction immediately intuitive.

This sign serves the ascending rightward egress scenario. In Los Angeles commercial buildings with below-grade levels, basement parking structures, lower-floor retail or event spaces, and sub-floor mechanical areas, occupants approaching a staircase that ascends to the right need this specific diagonal combination to navigate accurately. A horizontal right arrow at the base of an ascending staircase tells only half the story — this sign communicates the complete spatial instruction in a single glance, directing both the lateral and vertical components of the egress path without any text.

Key Features & Benefits

Figure-left, arrow-right layout aligns the pictogram’s movement with the arrow’s direction — the running figure faces and moves toward the up-right arrow, creating a unified visual flow that reinforces the directional instruction through two mutually confirming graphic elements.
Up-right arrow distinguishes ascending rightward travel from flat rightward travel — for occupants at the base of a staircase tracking right, this diagonal arrow removes the ambiguity of a flat horizontal arrow by explicitly communicating that the route involves elevation gain.
Layout with figure on left and arrow on right reads as a distinct visual composition at distance — the overall weight distribution differs from left-side arrow variants, reducing confusion when multiple directional signs are visible simultaneously in a complex floor plan.
Text-free design eliminates language barriers in below-grade and basement environments — no written language ensures the egress instruction communicates universally across all occupant language backgrounds.
Diagonal arrow distinguishes ascending from horizontal rightward travel — occupants at the base of a right-side ascending staircase need this diagonal specifically; a horizontal right arrow would be spatially inaccurate about whether elevation change is involved.
Full-bleed green background maintains safe-condition identification in low-ambient-light spaces — basement levels and below-grade parking structures often have reduced natural light; the all-green field establishes the sign’s egress category before arrow direction is resolved.
Compact 14″ × 7″ format suits stairwell base walls and low-ceiling basement corridor mounting — the horizontal panel fits efficiently in the constrained wall space typically available at the base of ascending staircases.
Reflective option essential for below-grade and parking structure applications — reflective white elements on green maintain arrow visibility under emergency lighting and flashlights when building power fails.
