Description

The entrance ramp has two signs, one which states "free-flowing right turn" and another that states "yield." This is very confusing and dangerous.

According to the NCDOT, Free Flow Right Turn signs may be considered for installation if one of the following conditions is met:

1. At any intersection where traffic traveling in an exclusive right-turn lane is allowed to turn
right and free-flow onto a dedicated lane at an intersection safely without yielding.
.
2. At the intersection of a freeway/expressway exit ramp where exiting traffic, traveling in an
exclusive right-turn lane, is allowed to turn right and free-flow safely onto a dedicated lane
safely without yielding.

In this case, requiring a driver to yield and obey the free-flow of traffic is directly contradictory.
