Hello forum. I want to ask y'all if you can think of any examples of overhead signs that have downward facing arrows facing the lanes, but the sign itself isn't wide enough to go over all the lanes, so one of the arrows is angled a bit to still point at the lane. Sorry if my explanation was poor, I couldn't think of any examples where this is done, though I know I've seen it before.
Called dancing arrows and no longer allowed.

A rare dancing arrow in Michigan:

^^ Unrelated but the yellow decision arrows sign is mounted upside-down.

I kind of like it better with what they did.
I-295 in Maryland has the most extreme example of which I'm aware:

Slight repositioning of the signs, and that dancing arrow wouldn't have been necessary at all.
Some brand new ones (https://maps.app.goo.gl/XZiKnLUSE29FxdTN9) in Breezewood (cough), PA:

Nothing about Breezewood is cough-worthy.
I-279 SB approaching the Ft. Pitt Bridge has this (but with both arrows and not just one). The tilt is pretty slight, due to the fact that PennDOT kept the sign size to a minimum (this is not "option" lane situation).
The next gantry after this has a larger sign for I-279 (to I-376) with 2 straight-down arrows.

Here's one I've taken on I-895 west of Baltimore since my original post here.

Case in point, the first example I thought of upon seeing this thread is an overhead on I-480 near Cleveland that has several (https://www.google.com/maps/@41.4246571,-81.5517765,3a,75y,88.46h,90.33t/data=!3m6!1e1!3m4!1se7O9xEx-GYwjwW01sA4uog!2e0!7i16384!8i8192?authuser=0&entry=ttu).
