A set of newly painted road markings has stirred confusion among drivers, with many struggling to decipher whether a road is a no-entry or no-exit route. The markings, shared on Reddit, appear to read “do not exit, enter only,” but are accompanied by arrows pointing outward, indicating it’s an exit.
The image, posted in a thread titled ‘mildly infuriating,’ has ignited a debate over which element, the text or the arrows, is incorrect. Some have voiced concerns, calling it “an accident waiting to happen.”
The Reddit Debate on ‘Do Not Exit’
One Reddit user commented, “I read it as ‘do not exit, enter only’ with the arrows contradicting that. I know it’s ‘do not enter, exit only,’ but whoever painted this does not know about line spacing/punctuation. Even a simple ‘exit only’ in bold text would fix the problem.”
Others joined the discussion, with one saying, “Yeah, I thought it was the arrows that were wrong. That signage is an accident waiting to happen.” Another added, “Oh wow, I would have never figured that out.”
Despite the confusion, some argued that the arrows were correct and that drivers should follow them, ignoring the text. One person posted, “The right arrow is facing the wrong way,” but was corrected by another user who clarified, “No, the arrows are right. The words are just spaced unevenly. DO NOT ENTER, EXIT ONLY.”
In light of the controversy, suggestions for a solution have been proposed, with one person suggesting, “Two symbols of ‘NO’ ᴓ painted over the arrows would fix the problem!” The debate continues as drivers attempt to navigate the perplexing road markings.
