Arrows
$9.99 – $16.99
Arrows are the obvious choice for guiding pedestrian traffic in a safe and efficient way – visual cues are critical for seamlessly navigating built environments, and arrows subconsciously convey easy-to-follow directional information that enables everyone to remain safe and properly distanced. Choose arrows of differing colors to distinguish high-traffic hallways from quieter areas such as libraries, and to differentiate floors or areas of the building with separate student populations.
All Safe ScholarsTM floor signs have received UL410 approval for slip resistance, bringing an additional layer of safety to your school’s facilities. Our products are designed for specific use applications, and with a lifespan compatible with routine floor maintenance schedules.

The materials used for our Outdoor signs can already be found at the start-finish lines of marathons, in sports stadiums, and laid on the asphalt of ticker-tape parade routes: they are purpose-built for significant levels of foot traffic on outdoor pedestrian surfaces. This material is ideal to indicate where students should stand outside your school’s entrance for temperature checks, and how to navigate your school’s outdoor campus as safely as possible.

Sizes & Uses
Hallways: circulation plans have changed, and schools need to communicate how their students, faculty and staff should now be navigating their facilities. Arrows can be used to indicate uni-directional or multi-directional hallways, as they are the most recognizable tool to indicate traffic direction. They also double in utility when spaced six feet apart to show pedestrians how to travel while maintaining social distancing.
Entrances and Lobbies: schools are expected to re-open with temperature checks and new circulation plans. Both can cause bottlenecking at entrances as students, faculty and staff learn how to navigate under this new normal. Arrows can quickly show pedestrians how to move into the building and in which direction to proceed once in the lobby, reducing the risk of bottlenecking as they become accustomed to your new traffic patterns.
Repurposed Spaces: cafeterias, gyms and auditoriums are some of the large spaces that can be repurposed as schools re-open. Arrows indicate which cafeteria aisles should be used while picking up food, or how to safely navigate a gymnasium that has been re-purposed for classrooms.
Sizes: all of our Arrows are cut to 6″ x 12″. Please contact us if a custom size would better suit your needs.
