Speaking of Road Sign Design



Most road signs are obvious as to what they mean, but there is one that has always seemed to me to be a dangerously bad design. The "Right Lane Ends Merge Left Sign", to me shows a shift in lane not a lane ending. Does any one else feel this way?



This is what seems the most likely solution.

This has always annoyed me. The sign shows a merge, yet is supposed to convey an end?

Invert the figure ground and the sign makes sense again.
