Chevron Gore Markings Appearing In Texas:

[In_Correct]

If there is only one thing I do not like about Texas roads, it is the \ shaped Gore Markings. They should be V shaped.

But where Interstate 35 split there is one V shaped gore marking. The other one nearby is still \ Shaped.

Both:

Oklahoma uses the slash gore markings too. I am not sure why; it seems like chevrons make more sense.
