Have you ever gone into a parking structure and had a hard time finding your way out? Sure, we usually forget where we parked the car, but at a glance we always look for those exit signs to guide us in the right direction. Most people don't even realize how important these signs are. We see them and follow the paths they mark for us so naturally, we barely know we're doing it.

Here's a cast aluminum exit sign, wired up and mounted, on a steel pipe that hangs low enough for the public to see.

And here's a tip for that lost car: before you walk away, take out your phone & snap a pic of the parking spot number or the parking level or something that will give you a point of reference for later. You may save yourself a lot of time looking for your vehicle.

And for signs like this, please visit our list of cast aluminum exit signs here:

A bit surreal -- even if it does look artificial.

What we're looking at here is a green LED thermoplastic exit sign with the right chevron knocked out. On the bottom of the sign you'll see the red indicator showing the battery backup inside the sign is charged and ready to go in case of a power outage...!

This guy is just bookin' it, hahahahaha.

Also, this sign could be read a number of ways:

- If you have a large testicle, rock back and forth really fast until you get to the checkout.

- If you are in a wheelchair and Daleks are chasing you, you can't use the stairs, so you'll just have to propel yourself to the checkout exit.

My family and I laughingly call it "the hospital" haha. Also my family and I laughingly make phony orgasm vocalisations anytime we see the "Oh! Oh! Oh!" Ohio Lottery ads haha. But I'd be too shy to take a picture of this when it's open.

This old Dairy Queen exit sign is at the location in Ludlow that is combined with a 76 filling station. While I accessed it from Interstate 40 as this day of my trip was all about putting miles behind me, this does sit on the old National Trails Highway/old U.S. Route 66. While the retro signage here looks inviting, the 76/Dairy Queen is very modern. I would also not recommend eating here as it is definitely not up to Dairy Queen standards.

They made me wait 20 minutes to get my prescription re-filled, so I thought I'd experiment and put the camera on the floor and get a shot of random customers.

I'm guessing these colors were used to keep the patients calm. Although according to this article: psychservices.psychiatryonline.org/cgi/content/full/57/10... the results of studies on the environment of a psychiatric hospital have been inconsistent.

Pretty simple image this morning. I love signs of industry, and I love realy simple scenes. So this is pretty much a win-win.

An exit sign at my church I found hanging open. The only bulb in the sign was a christmas bulb.
