Re: Traffic Sign Question

This just has to be a CYA. Someone, somewhere in VA decided to do the left-turn in the middle of the on-ramp. They probably died or were injured someway doing it and sued the state. The state lost the case and legislation kicked in mandating the 'don't-be-stupid' sign.

might not be legislation, but an overzealous interpretation of current code.
