Therefore it is only upside down.... At least if my logic is still sane.... Who knows?

No one had ever replaced the ladders or landings. So you had a choice... burn in the building or take your chances falling three stories. Wish I had had a camera with me back in those days.

The Arrow indicates the direction from your position (running man) to the exit (white rectangle). Of course you can find silly combinations, like an right arrow where there is no right door but the meaning is as clear (if you have learned it as child) as a red sign that says "EXIT" I wonder what you find confusing or odd concerning this sign: “A Simple Exit Sign”
