X Please come by the connecting passages at B1, 3F, 6F.

Tim says:

First of all, English speakers don’t expect such a sign to say “please”. We see this as simply information, not a request, so it doesn’t need to be so polite.

“By” sounds a little strange here. “Via” is better.

Also, Americans are not used to these abbreviations for the floors. “B1” is especially unfamiliar.

O Access to these stores is available via connecting passageways located on the 3rd and 6th floors and in the first basement.
