Not to mention Wilmington is now gone, after it was finally added after many years of US 301 not having any sort of control city.  Now Salisbury is even gone for US 50.  I guess the MDSHA does not have this assembly's replacement in the budget.

They installed new APLs without any control cities?
I was referring to the time these were on the road.  I have no clue about the replacements. 

Excuse me today, when you have issues with women your mind is not on things.  I did not see that the APL was now added in the text.   It is even more on your mind when you have issues with a female co worker.

Government would be tolerable if not for politicians and bureaucrats.

Several years ago, issues were found with the sign gantry at this location. A few weeks after an emergency removal of the overhead gantry and sign, these 2 signs appeared on the old gantry supports. (This was the third in a sequence of nearly identical diagramatic signs.) This past spring, a new gantry was installed and 3 new APL signs appeared in this stretch.

That's an interesting way to sign option lanes. I wonder if there's anywhere where it's been done like that permanently.

It's definitely way better than how NJDOT signed I-295 approaching 42/76...using 2 arrows for 3 lanes, leaving a driver unfamiliar with the area to guess if they *had* to be in the left or right lane, and if the center lane could be used for both, or only went towards one roadway.  https://goo.gl/maps/yReEvhtDDBq

Good timing on this one; shows newly installed APL sign in front of an older diagrammatic. Looks like replacement work was done a bit earlier than "this past spring"!

I do admit that Ocean City is a better choice than Salisbury.  More people go there.  During the Summer its real popular among people from the DC area or Baltimore.
