I really don't understand why NYC doesn't have N/S/E/W indicators engraved into the ground at every exit. It would really help to orient yourself when you exit a station.

And before some smart-ass says it, it doesn't help that Avenues and Streets are perpendicular because that still doesn't tell N from S, or E from W. I always end up walking a block in the wrong direction just to orient myself.

As a native New Yorker riding the subway for 20 years your suggestion is genius. Can’t count how many times I exited on the wrong stair case.
