Aren't exit guides to be placed at the start of the deceleration lane?

This one is placed way too far from the actual ramp departure IMO.  I thought the MUTCD has guidelines that strictly govern placement of signs.
Every day is a winding road, you just got to get used to it.

I don't know the rules, but it looks wrong to me. I can see wanting to warn of a 15mph ramp well in advance, but instead of a diagonal arrow, it should say 1/2 MILE. I can see someone in a snowstorm plowing into the guardrail.

Dude, you are the king of underwhelming.  With a bait headline like this thread title I was hoping for something more exciting than a nominal MUTCD gripe.

Seems fine to me given the curve.

Kings are generally pretty overwhelming in and of themselves. This is more like, the assistant district manager of underwhelming.

I've noticed that New Hampshire puts their exit arrow sign well before the point that Massachusetts would. I don't have that much experience with other states.
