Are there any overhead BGS' with 5 down facing pull through arrows for an expressway?

RI has one with 4 down pull through arrows for I-95 north @ the I-295 split and there are some on I-95 in the greater DC area.

I have never seen one with 5 or 5+ arrows.
Kansas City has some 4's on I-435 in Johnson County. Can't recall seeing a 5, either.
4 is actually not all that uncommon.
The problem with 5 or more is that having that many pull-through lanes on a single roadway is pretty much unheard of.
That Providence sign's always annoyed me. The arrows do NOT line up with the lanes at all. That sign was replaced sometime in the early 2000's, and the previous version lined up with the lanes (and was considerably wider).
I've seen a pull-through sign with 5 down arrows on I-5 south in Orange County. (street view (http://maps.google.com/?ie=UTF8&hq=&hnear=University+of+California&ll=33.68139,-117.762494&spn=0,359.954553&z=15&layer=c&cbll=33.68133,-117.762434&panoid=DiYzY4QRBKt0EkQl9n9i6g&cbp=12,135.8,,0,5.51))
The widest freeway in the Netherlands:

LA. Figures... :spin:
If anyone can get a picture, there is a pull through for I-80/294 East/South - Indiana at the I-80/I-294 junction in Illinois. It has four down arrows for the main lanes, and a fifth (on the sign itself) for the auxiliary lane that is merging just after the sign.
Google has an older picture of it before the IPass lanes were widened from three lanes to four lanes.

That reminds me:

That Driscoll Bridge is awesome. I think it may be the widest in the world for any river crossing. Unfortunately, both Google Earth and Bing maps do not have the final (completed) view yet. If you include the US 9 bridges which are immediately adjacent to the GSP bridges, there are over 20 lanes easily.

Only when you include US 9 does it become the widest bridge in the world. At 7 lanes SB and for about a mile 8 lanes NB, it's also one of the widest single roadways in the world other than at a toll plaza. I remember looking this up and finding bigger, though.
