Overview

This 14″ × 7″ horizontal sign is the rightward-layout upward arrow variant, following the same figure-left, arrow-right composition established across the rightward-direction family. The ISO 7010 running figure with white door silhouette anchors the left half of the full-bleed green panel, while a bold white straight-up arrow fills the right half. The upward arrow in this layout is the vertical ascent counterpart to the right-side downward arrow variant — both share the same figure-left structure, making them a matched pair within the rightward-layout family.

The straight upward arrow communicates pure vertical ascent with no lateral component — the exit is directly above the sign’s current mounting position and the route involves climbing without turning. This is the correct sign for below-grade spaces, basement levels, and sub-floor areas where a staircase rises straight up to a ground-level exit, and where the only available mounting wall places the arrow on the right side of the sign. Together with the left-side upward variant, this sign completes the vertical direction set in both left-side and right-side arrow compositions, giving Los Angeles building managers the full range of mounting options needed to ensure every ascending egress route is accurately marked regardless of which wall face is available.

Key Features & Benefits

  • Right-side upward arrow completes the vertical direction pair with the right-side downward variant — together, the upward and downward right-side arrow variants cover all pure vertical egress routes for left-wall staircase mounting scenarios.
  • Figure-left layout maintains compositional consistency across the rightward-layout variant family — sharing the same structure as other rightward-direction variants, this sign integrates into a coherent egress sign system without disrupting the established visual language.
  • Straight upward arrow communicates pure vertical ascent with no lateral ambiguity — the perfectly vertical arrow specifies that the egress route rises directly above without a lateral direction requirement.
  • Right-side arrow placement suits left-wall mounting at ascending staircase bases — when the only available mounting surface is the left wall of a staircase entrance from a below-grade space, this sign’s right-side arrow points toward the staircase opening.
  • Upward arrow is psychologically associated with progress and escape — research in emergency wayfinding consistently shows that upward-pointing arrows are processed as positive directional cues associated with exit and safety, making this one of the most instinctively followed arrow orientations in emergency conditions.
  • Text-free design ensures universal communication in below-grade multilingual environments — no written text means no comprehension barrier under any conditions for any occupant language background.
  • Full-bleed green background maintains safe-condition identification in low-ambient-light basement environments — below-grade spaces typically operate with reduced natural light; the all-green field identifies the egress category at distance.
  • Reflective option is especially critical for basement and sub-floor staircase base applications — reflective printing ensures the upward arrow remains visible under emergency lighting and flashlights when building power is interrupted.
