700 I'll be too. So what was this complaint? There just wasn't enough signs. Right, the signs allowed them to go down to where the actual construction was instead of offering detours. Okay, is that from Lexington then? That's what you advise. All right, there's two signs right at 42 and 97 on both sides of the road that says it's closed in 3.5 miles. Other than that, there's nothing until you get to the construction. Okay, so basically the motoring public is disregarding the actual physical signs stating where that, correct? If he's coming off of a side road, then I might be able to agree with him on that. There's nothing down through here if you came off of a side road, but if you're coming from town... There's two signs right at the split of 97 and 42 on both sides of the road that says it's closed. 204 is 24. Okay. Cool. The sign at King's Corner is that's off the road in the grass area that says it's closed. That's clear.
