I can tell you that as a MV operator I missed this sign several times after it was introduced. Should definitely be across the way or better yet, a red arrow as part of the signal. Is that an option or is it considered nonstandard? I'm not sure if I've ever seen one like it, but feel it would be effective. Also needed on North Shore as mentioned.
And speaking of North Shore does anyone know why we haven't changed the signals to facilitate one open crossing moment for cyclists and PEDs? With the new design and elimination of the third Nolen southbound lane, we could allow North Shore to Nolen southbound traffic be green concurrent with Nolen through traffic and then red when PEDs/bikes cross. Is there concern with MV ability to merge on Nolan?
