guide signs and on the directional arrow exit sign for Northside Drive and
position the pull-through sign for the southbound Interstate 75 HOV through lane
so that it is next to the Northside Drive left-exit direction sign. (H-08-8)

Install exit signs with LEFT message plaques for left interstate exits. (H-08-9)
