Door signs need to be simple because they serve as a quick and easy way for people to identify and locate the correct door they need to enter or exit or use a washroom. Simple door labels are easier to read and understand, which helps to reduce confusion and improve overall efficiency.
Additionally, simple door labels are important for people who may not speak the language in which the door labels are written. For example, at international airports, door labels often feature simple pictograms that can be easily understood regardless of the language spoken by the travellers.
Simple door labels are crucial for ensuring that people can quickly and easily navigate through a building, reducing the risk of confusion and improving safety.
Ever gone into the wrong restroom? Internet users were concerned after seeing these restroom signs at a Jaipur restaurant and it's obvious why.
Internet users were left perplexed after podcaster Ravi Handa shared images of the restroom signs at a South Indian restaurant in the Vaishali Nagar neighbourhood.?
A red line on one sign indicates a sari while, on the other, it indicates a mundu. The former was intended for women and the latter for women obviously.
"Request to all restaurants - please start using English to indicate bathrooms. Stop relying on our fashion sense," Handa wrote.?In another tweet, he added, "For the few who don¡¯t get it, Left with a slanted line is indicating a saari, so female. Right with a straight line coming down from the waist is indicating a lungi / dhoti / mundu, so male. Restaurant is located in Jaipur, Rajasthan."??
"I am just saying that having clear His / Her name plates is better," he further added.?
A man wrote, "In these places if you get in wrong one you can just pretend to identify with that gender and problem solved."
Another man added, "I do not see a problem with this. The fact that men and women have different dresses is common knowledge.?The imagery is confusing, that is correct. Someone may mistake their assigned washrooms.?But I do not mind the sari and lungi comparison."
