Arrow heaven. (Journal 4)

I found these arrows on my way to work yesterday. They are very common and they signify if you're in the left lane you can only turn left, if you're in the middle lane you can turn left or go straight, and if you're in the right lane you can only turn right.

I also found this arrow on my way to work. It signifies that if you are in this lane, you will be exiting towards the 89 North heading to Page.

This is another arrow I found on my way to work. It signifies that the lane to the right is merging onto the road you are on.

This arrow is kind of hard to see but it is the symbol of a u-turn with a red slash through it. It signifies that u-turns are not allowed in that area.

This is yet another arrow I found on my way to work. It signifies that a sharp turn is coming up ahead.

I also found this arrow on my way to work. It signifies that there is a u shaped turn coming up and the recommended speed around it is 30 mph.

I found this arrow in my apartment complex. It signifies that the areas/parking spaces to the left and right of the sign are tow away zones if you are not authorized to park there.

I am not sure why, but this was one of my favorite arrows that I found, I guess just because there are so many that point you in different directions. They all signify where you are headed.

I found this arrow when I was out running errands the other day. It signifies that if you are turning right, it is okay to do so.

This is another arrow I found when I was out running errands yesterday. It signifies that as you pull out onto this road, there is only one direction/way you can go...the way the arrow is pointing.

These arrows are my blinkers in my car. They signify whether you are going to turn left or right, depending which blinker you turn on. It alerts people of your actions before you do it (that is if you actually use your blinker).

Also, after reading this article, one sentence really stood out to me; "I started looking for arrows and soon I couldn’t seem to avoid them." Mostly because I completely agree with this statement. After doing this assignment, even a day after, I am still constantly looking for arrows and seeing them everywhere without even realizing it.
