So the Independence-to-Albemarle interchange has finally opened. While that's great news, it's apparently without any signage.
This means that anyone who (understandably) stays to the left to make the turn on Sharon Amity will suddenly find themselves headed to Albemarle instead. You see, the state is having issues with the signs going up - so drivers have no advance warning that the lanes are now open, and make sudden lane shifts, across the median splitting the diverging paths, to get back on Independence.
What's worse is that apparently the previous left-turn lanes from (outbound) Independence onto Sharon Amity are no longer. So someone jumping from the new Albemarle lanes back onto Independence, in hopes of getting to that Sharon Amity light, will find themselves out of luck, as they won't be able to turn left there, as they've been doing for the last three years or so. Nicely done.
Come on Charlotte (and/or North Carolina) - if you're going to go through the effort, at least make it the whole way, and put up some signs so people know that things are different now, and they're about to exit when they might not expect to do so!
