That seems rather inflexible. I'd have a sticker on the diffuser showing
the proper sign. And, for good measure, which way it should face. :-)


In the case of a keep left/keep right sign, it must be possible to have
a swappable sign that's fitted in a 'window' at the top and secured in
place somehow, to prevent kids playing around with it.


Hmm - "secured in place somehow, to prevent kids playing around with
it" - perhaps the ultimate technical challenge of our time!

Like they already are?

Then you can have an arrow either way,


You didn't do well in mental agility tests did you? If you rotate the
keep left sign 270 degrees, it looks like a keep right one...

Do you always go the long way round???

If you rotate the keep left sign *90* degrees the other way, it still
looks like a keep right one...

Squaddies aren't taught to think, just do as they're told.
