Where possible one sign should be over the door but where the door is not readily visible from within the space it serves, a further sign should be provided to indicate the direction in which the door lies.

  3.4.2 Doors, windows, side scuttles and other openings that are not normally used as thoroughfares, but which could be used for emergency escape purposes, should be clearly marked with the relevant “emergency exit" sign.
