Two Arrow Emergency Exit sign???
https://www.safetysupplywarehouse.com/Green_Exit_PF50_Series_Glo_Brite_Eco_Exit_Sign_p/g7040.htm
So yesterday while walking by Union Station's train lobby/concourse hall, I came noticed at least five emergency exit signs with two arrows.
This isn't uncommon as it is often seen in other buildings also. My only question is, why is this a thing???
Seriously. This is a little example of what would happen in a fire emergency:
1)
I need to get out!
2)
Thank god! An exit sign!
3)
What? Two arrows on the exit sign? WHICH WAY SHOULD I GO? WHICH WAY IS FASTER?
4)...........^ The writer of this blog has died from the fire because he couldn't come to a decision quick enough for which exit route to follow.

Icons that don't make sense
AS A NEW DRIVER, I was driving around town as usual to run some errands. As usual, I flicked on my headlights. During that night, I was honked at three times, and couldn't figure out why...
When I got home, I saw this blue icon on my dashboard.
I had no idea what it meant. I didn't think too much of it.
A couple of days went by, and I still got honked at occasionally.
I finally asked my dad what this blue icon meant. Apparently, I had my high beams on the for around 4 days without knowing...
Maybe it is just me, but I do not think this icon looks anything like a "beam" or "lights".
The reason I ignored it, was because I thought it represented "winds" or something fast because it looked like a bullet.
Don't believe me? See for yourself.
WIND:
BULLET (to represent fast):
MAYBE SOMETHING LIKE THIS MIGHT BETTER REPRESENT HIGH BEAMS...
