Exit signs after fifty years

[cda]

NFPA 101 now states a max height::


NFPA 101-2018, 7.10.1.9:


7.10.1.9 Mounting Location. The bottom of new egress markings
shall be located at a vertical distance of not more than 6 ft
8 in. (2030 mm) above the top edge of the egress opening
intended for designation by that marking. Egress markings
shall be located at a horizontal distance of not more than the
required width of the egress opening, as measured from the
edge of the egress opening intended for designation by that
marking to the nearest edge of the marking.



Now if someone would ban "fire exit"

It may have been on 101 since 2003

We don't really use 101 so I would have to see the adjacent sections, but, that is stupid....Now, by that, if you have a bank of doors you need a sign over every door...or at least centered for 2....Do they say anything about non door signs?

Good question will have to look through 101
