Reply to comment by SportsStooge22 in New Traffic Pattern 95 South/64 East Merge-Exit 78/Boulevard by shorty_tumbleweed

Thank you for sharing this! This is exactly what I meant. But, there were NO SIGNS that the right lane (of the 3 on 95) ends suddenly beofre the 64 merge, unless I missed it/them. Has anyone been through to confirm there isn't a sign? I got on 95 from the Chamberlayne exit-maybe there are signs before then? Or I just missed them? I know it's a new traffic pattern, but that's especially when a sign is needed.

I drive it daily, they have the big mobile sign that says NEW TRAFFIC PATTERN that you mentioned, and the lane that merges has big white merge arrows painted since the first morning it was put in place. Plus that merge is super long, not sure how it caught you so off guard tbh. But hey, now ya know.

Gotcha-I was in rush-hour traffic, so maybe the traffic/cars in front of me blocked the arrows painted on the road. Thank you! And you're right-now I know and will just get over to the left sooner. Thanks for your reply!

I noticed a large yellow sign 'RIGHT LANE ENDS - 1 MILE AHEAD' on 95S before there, yesterday about 3pm. I hadn't seen the sign before and I drive that stretch at least 7 days a week if not more. Saw the VDOT trucks with yellow flashing lights working on that stretch before the K-merge. I figured they were setting it up when I took the 195S exit. Thanks for the heads-up.

Thanks for your reply! Glad they have signs up. Stay safe out there!
