A FIRE EXIT sign may have a person running towards and exit, a text saying EXIT makes the symbol clear.

Direction- in a dead end, where people assume an exit to be, have a directional sign up. A fire exit graphic with a large arrow pointing to where the exit is located. Progress up from, progress down to, progress right/ left from are ways the graphics are interpreted.

Location of safety signs- fire safety signs are a trapped person's hope to freedom and safety. Considering the lay-out of a building, anticipate where people will be and how do they get out. Some buildings have a fire exit sign beside a 'Private' which sends out the wrong information and adds to the trapped person agitation and risk of life.

Safety sign sizes and heights- Not all have 20/20 vision and considering heavy smoke hovering over head, a fire safety sign will best be seen if it is big enough and put at the right line of sight from the floor.
