Exit sign arrows

[cda]

So say you are in an area.

You walk out of that area into a corridor that requires two separate exits.


Have you ever had and approved,

Exit signs pointing you in one direction
only ???


As in turn right not left

And the travel to both exits is about the same ??

Nope.... need an additional exit sign

1013.1 Where Required
Exits and exit access doors shall be marked by an approved exit sign readily visible from any direction of egress travel. The path of egress travel to exits and within exits shall be marked by readily visible exit signs to clearly indicate the direction of egress travel in cases where the exit or the path of egress travel is not immediately visible to the occupants. Intervening means of egress doors within exits shall be marked by exit signs. Exit sign placement shall be such that no point in an exit access corridor or exit passageway is more than 100 feet (30 480 mm) or the listed viewing distance for the sign, whichever is less, from the nearest visible exit sign.
Exceptions:

1. Exit signs are not required in rooms or areas that require only one exit or exit access.
2. Main exterior exit doors or gates that are obviously and clearly identifiable as exits need not have exit signs where approved by the building official.
3. Exit signs are not required in occupancies in Group U and individual sleeping units or dwelling units in Group R-1, R-2 or R-3.
4. Exit signs are not required in dayrooms, sleeping rooms or dormitories in occupancies in Group I-3.
5. In occupancies in Groups A-4 and A-5, exit signs are not required on the seating side of vomitories or openings into seating areas where exit signs are provided in the concourse that are readily apparent from the vomitories. Egress lighting is provided to identify each vomitory or opening within the seating area in an emergency.

Just because there is a proper exit at one end of the corridor doesn’t mean it is useable. Might be blocked by the fire. Need signs pointing toward all exits.

So how would have the arrows pointing at the "T" intersection of two corridors that have an exit at each end (3 exits)?

seems as if your POV would always be from one of the corridors walking away from an exit so the sign you would see only has two directions to convey maximum.
