I don't have an issue with Acey's suggestion, but in the interest of helping the driver who looks at the sign for half a second, I can safely say that the sign out there now is quicker to understand.
Blur your eyes when looking at the image Acey photoshopped and the original sign, and only look at the picture for less than a second. Can you tell what the optional exit arrow does in that example? To a driver who is unfamiliar with the area and didn't start looking at the sign until they were close to the exit, they aren't even reading anything, just looking at colors and symbols while panicking over where to go. If you're lucky they'll read the numbers in the highway symbols or maybe just "Edmonton" and "Stoney".
