Cultural Tip
In German public buildings the word 'Ausgang' appears on illuminated signs with a white arrow on a green background. Safety regulations (Bauordnung) often require at least two independent exits for rooms larger than 100 m², so the phrase 'Plan zwei Ausgänge' is common in construction and fire‑safety briefings. Keep the tone neutral; using a colon after 'Plan' (Plan: zwei Ausgänge) makes the note look more official.
