What is an "emergency exit"?

These exits are usually clearly marked and easily accessible, often with additional safety features like illuminated signs or alarms. Emergency exits are designed to provide a quick and safe escape from a building to prevent injuries during an emergency. They are a critical component of building safety codes and are required in most public and commercial spaces.
