Egress Signs Durable Evacuation Map Sign In New Jersey

Floor map signs are a crucial part of evacuations both real and practice run-throughs because they give a layout of the floor they’re posted on with highlights pointing out where on that floor the sign is posted (You Are Here signs). This lets occupants know how close they are to the quickest exit, making evacuations faster and safer.

Egress Map Options at Blue Dot Signs

Some egress maps are designed strictly for directional use. Local malls and shopping centers use "You Are Here" signs in NJ to help direct people to stores and other areas they may want to find.

For most other properties, building information signs like egress maps are required – or at least strongly suggested – by the NJ Department of Community Affairs, the HPD and other local building codes. They should be installed at the critical areas in your building where occupants can use them to determine a safe path out during an emergency.

Because of our experience in building signs for safety and DCA compliance, we can assist with egress map designs to create graphics that are accurate and clear.

Egress maps are a type of fire sign. Other types of emergency exit signs besides floor map signs that we can provide include:

Stair Signs
Lit Emergency Exit Signs
Fire Exit Door Signs
Elevator Bank Signs, and More

These signs are designed to be quickly read and understood by as many people as possible, and don’t typically involve a lot of creative customization in order to avoid decreasing their accessibility. However, we can customize some aspects of yours if they don’t violate safety codes such as:

Color
Size
Font
Material

The graphics are usually printed or engraved in acrylic or metal. We also use contrasting colors and clean fonts to ensure signage is legible even in low light conditions.

These customizations can help your sign blend in with your decor so that it looks professional in your building when it is not needed. If an emergency exit is required, however, the sign will be there, clear and ready to help building occupants.

Back Of Doors
Stairwells
Elevators
Lobbies
Hallways
Open Spaces

The You Are Here signs used by shopping centers and for wayfinding can be placed almost anywhere, but are best placed in areas that people already walk.
