The complete lack of signage indicating which of the many confusing turn lanes one needs to take to reach a destination is ridiculous. People unfamiliar with the area are left confused as to where to turn, and they tend to make very poor decisions in driving when they get confused. I've seen people stopped in the middle of 17 trying to decide if they needed to turn or continue to the next turn. I've seen people running red lights while not paying attention to the road or right of way while trying to look for something one one side of the road or the other.
It sure would be nice to have some road signs indicating which services are at which specific turn, and while the NCDOT's at it, why can't they add a couple large signs with road names on them for the likes of Lanvale rd, Brunswick Forest, Magnolia Greens and Waterford. It's beyond this Leland homeowner why it should be so hard to give someone directions to this vicinity and have to use landmarks like fences or counting stoplights to explain where to turn. It's embarrassing, really. A road should be marked with signs, on a highway where speeds of 45-55 mph are being driven, that can be seen in plenty of time for a driver to safely indicate their intentions and get to the appropriate lane.
A major problem along this stretch of road
