Cultural Tip
In Spanish‑speaking countries, "salida" is the standard word for an exit sign, whether in a building, a subway station, or a highway. The verb "llevar" is commonly used for directions ("llevar a" = "to take to"). In some regions, especially in Latin America, you might hear "conduce" instead of "lleva". Remember to keep the article "la" before "calle" because street names are usually feminine in Spanish.
