Choose the Right Running Man Exit Sign

The 18-sign assortment supports different points along the egress path. Start with what occupants need to understand at that location:

• Running Man Symbols: Identify the emergency exit path with the internationally recognized running-man graphic.
• Directional Exit Signs: Combine the running man with arrows or use coordinating arrow signs to show the required direction of travel.
• EXIT Signs: Add EXIT wording when both the symbol and text are appropriate for the door or route.
• Final Exit Signs: Identify doors that lead occupants from the exit enclosure or passageway to the final exit.
• Lobby and Street Exit Signs: Provide more specific final-exit information where the egress route continues through a lobby or toward the street.
• Accessible Exit Signs: Identify accessible emergency-exit routes with standard or dynamic accessibility symbols.

For left- and right-oriented signs, select the version that corresponds with the door handle location, or the direction occupants must turn after passing through the door.

Why Use a Green Running Man Symbol?

The running man provides visual exit guidance without relying only on written language. When paired with directional arrows, the symbol can help occupants quickly understand where the egress route continues during an emergency.

These signs use green graphics on photoluminescent LaserGlow material and are designed to remain visible during low-light conditions or loss of power. The matte, non-glare material requires no electrical connection or backup battery to glow after exposure to normal lighting.

Photoluminescent Running Man Sign Requirements

Running man signs in this assortment are designed for use as part of luminous egress path marking systems in qualifying buildings. Individual products may be used on doors within exit stairway enclosures and exit passageways, with the required message and arrow determined by the door location and direction of egress.

Many of these signs are designed for low-level installation below the smoke line, centered on the door with the top of the sign no more than 18 inches above the floor. The 2024 International Building Code addresses luminous egress path markings in certain high-rise occupancies, while New York City requirements also use running-man symbols and directional arrows for low-level egress markings, including directional and final-exit configurations.

Products in this assortment are made from photoluminescent LaserGlow material and meet UL 1994 requirements for Luminous Egress Path Marking Systems and are ETL listed to UL 924. Select products are specifically approved for use in New York City. Confirm the locally adopted building and life-safety requirements, sign location, and required configuration before ordering.

Complete the Luminous Egress Path

Running man exit signage helps occupants identify and follow the route but required luminous egress systems may include additional markings at doors and other points along the path. Pair the appropriate exit and directional signs with photoluminescent door hardware markings where door handles, push bars, or operating instructions also need to remain identifiable in low-light conditions.
