I30 Construction Signage

1

My wife and I almost died yesterday (4/21) on a return trip to Texas on West I30. Little Rock to Texarkana had multiple construction zones where I30 was down to one lane. The last one was about 8 miles from Texarkana. My problem is with the one just previous to that one. To the best of my knowledge the speed limit was still 75. We were surrounded by 18-wheelers when I saw one dead-stopped in my left lane. It's possible I didn't see all the signage on the right due to my view being blocked. However, no signage at all was on the left side of the roadway. To the left was a deep ditch and to the right and slightly behind was another 18-wheeler. I steered hard right because braking would not have stopped us. Not sure how close to the 18-wheeler I came in the right lane. This is the closest I have come to dying on a freeway in my life and I am 65. Please add giant arrows to move over on BOTH sides of the freeway and do it several miles back from the construction. Otherwise, people WILL die. My email is [protected]@att.net. Mobile phone is [protected]. My name is Richard Van Tyne
