This one also has issues with the arrows (but, I'm sure it will get replaced).
What? The arrows look fine to me.
They are not pointing at an angle.

The left lane is also exit only but the sign doesn't reflect that.

Just saw that now. Only a minor issue though, as the sign isn't really past the gore point yet despite the left lane being exit only at that point.

This thread reads like "the DOT fired me for incompetence and now I am going to stick it to them with piddly crap."
These posts need to come with a disclaimer:

This poster is a petty bitch, is seeing things, and more than likely, both.
Proceed with caution, and possibly a puke bucket.

If it bothers you, why the hell are you on this forum? We're all petty bitches.

Honestly, the occasional guide sign kern ing issue is fairly common, and isn't a big deal after you've seen like fifty of them scattered around the nation.

This is a forum dedicated to roads and road signs though, so naturally all errors big and small must be criticized.  :-P

The weird empty gantries on I-287 in Morris County, leftovers from what used to be HOV lanes.
If you ever feel useless, remember that CR 504 exists.

Is that not up to 2000 and 2003 MUTCD spec?

To me, this is strange, because it includes everything but a wig-wag signal. Thankfully, there's not a lot like this:

Perhaps it's because I'm used to reversible lanes (such as the I-595 express lanes, which are similar to the ones on I-395 here in Virginia), but I don't see anything particularly odd about that assembly, aside from finding it a bit ugly that the vertical poles protrude so far above the gantry.

They are fine, they are just old-school looking.

Seems like NCDOT stopped using the EXIT ONLY when both lanes do not exit.

That was the pre-2009 standard.  Nothing strange at all about that.

They were definitely cutting corners on that one. They're not even the same height.

I have no idea how that happened but it looks like a vehicle hit it.

Maybe it was yet to be installed ?
Don’t ask me how I know.  Just understand that I do.

A later photo shows the side supports were replaced and the truss may have been reused.

It was installed in 2003.

Edit: I think it was 1999 or 2000. The Wilson bypass was done in 2 phases.
