Subject:Re: Detour Signs - Belt Line
George, I just drove through on my way to Home Depot. I think the issue is the last arrow board on the south bound
side. I know the purpose is to demonstrate the merged lane. However, some might think its designed to show here to
turn left.
Does it cause any harm to turn off that last arrow board? Thanks, Mario -----Original Message-----

Mario,
I took a look at the signs. I didn't get out and measure the 1500' detour sign but the ahead arrow and so forth. I also
talked with Sgt Jackson onsite and got his opinion on the issue. He had heard from another officer that someone had
used the excuse that the combination of the ahead arrow detour as well as the lighted arrow board, they thought they
were to turn into the driveway. Apparently the officer just gave them a warning. I have decided to leave the signs in
place as they are today. We are finishing this project quite fast and they should be compete with the intersection
closure on Monday or Tuesday. Thank You for informing me of the complaint. Maybe there is something I can do
differently on future projects.
Thank You, George
