My first time traveling internationally, I was by myself at Gatwick airport. I saw the signs with arrows pointing one way for “UK, Channel Islands, and EU” and another way for “All Other Countries” or something like those. I misunderstood that as being for what your destination was, like people simply connecting in London on their way to some other part of the world, but not leaving the airport, needed to follow the second sign. It was only as I got into the lines that I realized the difference was not the destination but what paper you carried. I think since then in other countries I’ve seen them explicitly include “Passports” on those signs, which is clearer.
