I like the idea of all Green doors on the Port side, and all Red doors on the Starboard side...maybe Black and White would be better for contrast...then "Evac via the ____ (colour) doors ONLY!"
You don't suppose this is why cabin doors are marked on the inside with not only a number, but a big "L" or "R", hmm?
That sounds like a great idea. I have not noticed that before. I do know the overwing exits I have sat next to do not have any L or R or any other marking on them...just plane doors...
Maybe the US has different rules for door markings than other areas of the world.
I will be looking for door markings starting tomorrow...
