Universal Design Approach

The introduction of the ‘Accessible Means of Egress Icon’, onto accessible exit signage changes the current discriminatory approach to exit signs in buildings and presents a fully inclusive universal design. The design is ‘inclusive’, rather than ‘exclusive’ and shows both the figures moving through the open doorway together, in contrast to other previous designs that use the Japanese style ‘Running Man’ alone.

Buildings need exit and emergency signs to identify parts of the accessible means of egress. An Accessible Exit Sign Project Initiative.
