Door Plate - Fire Exit Straight On - Safety Signs by Caledonia Signs

Designed to clearly indicate the direction of an emergency escape route, specifically telling people that the fire exit is located straight ahead. The sign helps ensure that building occupants, staff, and visitors can quickly identify the safest way out during an emergency such as a fire, gas leak, or other hazardous incident. In a stressful situation, clear and direct signage can save lives by preventing confusion and panic.

The primary reason to use this sign is compliance with fire safety regulations and building codes, which often require escape routes to be marked with universally recognisable symbols and clear directional guidance. A door plate version offers a neat, space-efficient solution that can be mounted directly at eye level on doors, walls, or surfaces along the escape route. Because the message is simple and unambiguous—"straight on"—it minimises hesitation, which is critical in time-sensitive situations.

In terms of placement, this sign is best used in corridors, doorways, or passageways where people need confirmation that continuing straight ahead leads to the fire exit. It is especially important in complex layouts, long hallways, or areas where multiple route choices could cause uncertainty.
