Meanings

Four figures converging with arrows on a green square mark an evacuation assembly point. It is a safe-condition sign, so it marks the end of an escape route rather than any hazard — it tells you where to stop, not what to avoid.

Contexts: Public information
Common modern usageVerified fact
