    Sometimes it ain't just the electric signs that are confusing. If it were me, and I saw this, I would assume "CLOSED." First, because this shows more letters for closed than open. Second, and more importantly, closed sounds better than open. Lol

    If you are not sure it is better to pull in, unless the entrance is blocked by cones.

    I’d have to stop and paint an “R” on that sign.

    I dislike the signs in Missouri. They're red when closed and green when open. Green means go and red means stop.

    Yeah, they should have some kind of standards where they are all the same. In Tx you go in when the lights flash then you get to Louisiana where the flashing light mean closed.

    Years ago I planned to stop driving so I no longer cared about my cdl. I started blowing all the weigh stations ... never had a problem never got stopped. Years later no troubles.
