As a regular customer at PTI, I would like to reiterate the need for better directional signage at the airport exit.
Early this past Saturday morning, I encountered a gentleman driving in reverse on the exit road, attempting to read signage partially obscured by trees. Unfortunately, this is not a rare occurrence. I see similar incidents on an almost daily basis, with varying degrees of hazard and confusion involved.
I would expect the current construction projects in the area would increase the need for additional and more complete signage. This has not been the case. While I don't mind taking the time to regularly steer folks in the proper direction, the obvious safety issues prompt me to put my concerns to paper.
Additionally, what does it tell visitors if we can't even easily point them in the right direction upon arrival to the area?

Let's see, this past Saturday morning?
Around ten a.m., driving a green car perchance?
Yep, that was me alright. But it had nothing to do with trees or signage, I always drive in reverse. Sure, it's dangerous and more than a little idiotic, but my daughters love it so why not?
It's not like I was sober, licensed or insured anyway, so I doubt society is in danger of it becoming a common practice for EVERYONE.

P.S. Thanks for calling me a "gentleman" in your lte. With a firm belief that your heart is in the right place I'll refrain from suing you for liable.

I went to the airport just last week to drop some one off, and while it is not my first time to the airport I really didn't see any problems with the signs. Long term parking left, ok that's not what I want....a little further up terminal parking to the right and there was a sign for short term parking to the left. Only one way out, which is indicated my a large arrow pointing to the right when you are exiting the terminal area that says 1 way. I frankly don't see the problem. If more or larger signs in order to get around there then perhaps you shouldnt be driving.

I hate when I forget to proof read, the last line should say: If you need more or larger signs to get around there perhaps you shouldn't be driving.
