Description

I have also reported this to NHDOT as well. Since the upgrade of the northbound Exit 6 off-ramp from one lane to a two lane exit, there hasn't been any lane use signage of pavement markings painted to indicate what each of the lanes are used for. Quite frequently at the bottom of the ramp where the ramp intersects with Candia Road a number of drivers turn left from the center lane on the ramp to the right hand westbound lane of Candia Road causing issues with the drivers in the left turn lane turning left.

Now this could have been designed as a dual left turn lane intersection, but is this is so then this would cause an issue with the next intersection with the southbound on ramp because the left westbound lane is the left turn lane to turn southbound on to the Exit 6 on ramp. Not this lane has some paint marking on the pavement.

With that said the ramp approaching the intersection of Candia Road should have the lanes use indicated by a couple of signs showing the left lane is left turn only and the center lane is straight through and the right lane as right turn only. As well with the traffic signal the center signal head or the one to the right of the left turn signal on the mast arm should be a through arrow instead of a green ball to also better indicate the center lane travel is through only.
