An incorrect lane marking caused traffic confusion in Park Falls on Saturday, September 6, 2025.

At the intersection of Hwy. 13 and County Road E, heading southbound, there at two lanes of traffic.  The right lane was marked correctly for a straight or right turn.  The left lane was marked incorrectly with an arrow directing traffic to the right rather than to the left.  This arrow was painted on the road as the repaving project is nearing completion.

According to the Park Falls Police Department, police were aware of the issue this afternoon and the issue was being addressed.

Later in the day, the arrow was somewhat blacked out so not to cause further confusion for drivers.
