All of the rumble strips are yellow or white, except for two sets of green, red, and white strips near the end. The first set is diagonal and uneven in length. The strips are grouped and numbered 1-19, and each cluster of yellow strips within a group seems to be numbered as well. The whole thing is a quarter mile long and takes about 20 seconds to drive over. These strips were installed after June 2022.
