The song Signs contains the lyrics, “Sign, sign, everywhere a sign.” That is not the case on the North River causeway where two sign structures above the two westbound lanes are completely empty.

Before the Maypoint roundabout, westbound motorists are informed by an overhead sign that each lane leads to Cornwall and Borden-Carleton. The Cornwall reference is correct because the town does lie just ahead. However, no further sign update is provided until the motorist is virtually on top of the North River roundabout at which point some desperate drivers in the right lane make a last-ditch (pun unavoidable) effort to switch to the left lane which the sign now ambiguously indicates as leading to Main Street. More than once I have been squeezed out of the left lane to avoid a collision.

A better idea........
