mntech and givemewings,

Thanks for both of your answers.

I had suspected it would be an "all on" system but hadn't really thought about it before reading about this accident. I fly long haul on a monthly basis and always make sure I know where the nearest exits are in relation to my seat but hadn't considered that it may not be possible to determine whether the choice to go towards the front or the back of the aircraft would be the correct one.

An "all on" system seems to be flawed in that it potentially leads passengers down a dead end but as you say, givemewings, an intelligent, automated system would be complicated.
