Look at signs before choosing a door.
The idea
Entrance marks a way in; exit marks a way out. Staff only reserves an area for employees.
Examples
- The entrance is next to the reception desk.
- Sam follows the exit sign to the door.
- This door says “Staff only”.
- Visitors must not enter the restricted area.
- A sign points to the emergency exit.
- Please keep the fire exit clear.

Watch out
Do not mistake an entrance for an exit; the two signs point to different directions of travel.
