Intermediate Fire Exit Marker - Arrow Up / Straight On - Safety Signs by Caledonia Signs

The Intermediate Fire Exit Marker – Arrow Up / Straight On sign is used to provide continuous directional guidance along evacuation routes, indicating that the fire exit lies straight ahead. This sign plays a vital role in helping occupants stay oriented and confident during an emergency evacuation.

In line with BS 16069 standards, these intermediate markers should be placed every five to ten metres along escape routes to consistently reinforce the exit direction. They are designed to complement, not replace, the primary ISO 7010 fire exit signs, and should never be used in isolation as the sole form of exit signage.

You’ll typically find this sign in corridors, stairwells, and other long or complex escape routes within offices, hospitals, schools, shopping centers, and industrial buildings—essentially anywhere clear, repeated directional guidance is needed.

Using the Intermediate Fire Exit Marker – Arrow Up / Straight On sign helps reduce confusion during evacuation by maintaining a clear, continuous message about the escape route. This supports safer, more efficient evacuation and ensures compliance with fire safety regulations and best practices.
