QuoteJanuary 23, 2020:  Directional assemblies with the arrows out of proper (left, straight, right) order.



This may not count, but AR 43 is straight ahead, MO 43 is to the left along OK 20. This has since been replaced by a single OK 20 sign and arrow.

The arrow that only points right is on the left side.  No bueno.  Bryan, OH

An error that, sadly, is far too common in Utah. Here's one on SR 30 at US 89/91 in Logan:



Westbound BL-15/84 in Tremonton. This one is also just plain wrong...the 15 should be a green BL shield, or else have a TO banner.



And finally, one from SR 13 in Brigham City. How UDOT can mess this up on a one-piece sign, I'll never understand.
