They’ve gone back and forth on how to sign this, apparently, moving the shields both on and off the destination pole, but as of 2020 we’re supposed to stay straight for 55 south and turn left for 95 north.<\/p>\n

Turn left for 95 south and stay straight for 55 north. This used to be a very unusual three way intersection, but now it’s a boring T.<\/p>\n
