Slightly tilted arrows on overhead signs

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.

^^ 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.

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.

I don't have opinions anymore. All I know is that no one is better than anyone else, and everyone is the best at everything

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