There are emergency exits in many types of buildings and commercial aircraft.
Every building exceeding a certain size must be designed with extra doors leading to safety in case of fire. The number of doors and their placement depends upon the type of occupancy (e.g., dwelling, warehouse, factory, theater, etc). There are rules about how close together exits must be, so that people are NEVER farther than the limit (e.g., 150 feet in an un-sprinklered grocery store)
These doors, kept closed under normal circumstances, can be used to evacuate the building very quickly in case of emergency (fire, gaz...).
These doors are indicated with an illuminated EXIT sign (lit internally or externally). If the building is required to have emergency lighting, then the EXIT signs must also have a backup power source (e.g., batteries) or be photoluminescent and remain visible for at least 90 minutes after power is lost.
Emergency exits do not always go directly outside; they may simply allow occupants to move into an area of refuge, separated by a smoke and fire barrier designed to last an hour or more.
After the Station nightclub fire, NFPA standards were upgraded to require larger main exits for nightclubs, discotheques, dance halls, bars with live entertainment and any assembly occupancy with festival seating, i.e., more than 50 people. NFPA 101 (2006): 12.2.3.6.2 (capacity to handle at least 2/3 of the total allowed occupancy, versus early code requiring only 1/2).

What does the emergency exit sign mean?
An "emergency exit" is a door or passageway to a place that should be safer than where you are. It is "emergency" exit because it would not normally be open for use (going in or out), but must be able to open during an emergency. All emergency exits are required to be marked with an illuminated "EXIT" sign. Your local fire code will determine how many there must be, whether they are required to have "panic hardware" to unlock them (i.e., by a blinded child with no hands), among other things. In countries other than the USA, you may see "Way Out" signs, rather than EXIT, or a pictogram showing a person going through a door or up/down stairs.
