Title: No straight arrows when new roads are paved
Post by: tolbs17 on July 25, 2021, 07:53:35 PM
So when looking at Evans and Martinborough roads, there is no straight arrows. I see the same thing over here (https://www.google.com/maps/@35.1234064,-78.9393667,280m/data=!3m1!1e3)aswell. It's this just a new thing that NCDOT came up with or does it have to do with common sense, I guess? :hmmm:

Are you sure they aren't just playing peekaboo?

Oklahoma rarely uses straight arrows. Usually the only painted arrows are for turn lanes.

Yep, I'm starting to see more of those around here. Even I don't really see the straight or right arrows anymore.

Yes, LGBT arrows are more MUTCD-compliant.
