Of the three southbound lanes here, the left lane is default for NY 17 East, while the right lane is maintained for I-81 South. Traffic in the center lane may follow either NY 17 or I-81.

Overhead
signage facing I-81 North/NY 17 West on sign truss spanning the entire
width of I-81/NY 17 at the Broad St. interchange (Exit 3). Lane
distribution signage is provided at this point for the upcoming I-81/NY
17 split. Note that the leftmost sign, for NY 17 West, also
features "West" text with a blank space beneath it. In the future,
an I-86 shield will be added to that sign. Once the final at-grade
stretches of NY 17 expressway near Elmira are upgraded to freeway, the
I-86 designation will be extended eastward from Elmira to I-81, and on
to NY 17's interchange with NY 79 at Windsor.

17 West and I-81 North (to I-88) lane distribution signs, along
with exit signs for NY 7 South (Exit 4 N) and NY 7 North (Exit 4 S), all
affixed to sign truss facing I-81 North/NY 17 West at the NY 7
cloverleaf interchange. The rightmost lane of an otherwise
six-lane freeway serves as a collector/distributor lane for the
interchange.

Overhead
diagrammatical sign for the western split of the I-81/NY 17 duplex in
Binghamton, affixed to sign gantry spanning the entire cross-section of
the freeway, and located approximately 0.25 mile before the split.
Note that a distance is not shown on the diagrammatical sign showing
said distance to the interchange. This is a common practice on
diagrammatical signs in New York's neighbor to the north, Ontario, as
well.

Sign
gantry at the western split of the I-81/NY 17 duplex, which is situated
above the Chenango River. As is the case with the eastern split of
the duplex, there are three lanes going into this split, with the left
lane for NY 17 West traffic, the right lane for I-81 North traffic, and
the center lane available for motorists going in either direction.
Note the NY 17 shield on the left guide sign has a black background,
which is unusual for shields on guide signs in the Empire State.

Town of Salina
Sign truss featuring four green lane distribution signs on EB 7th N. St. for upcoming intersections with I-81 and US 11. The next traffic signal is for the on- and off-ramps to and from I-81 South. Dual left turn lanes allow for movement on to the loop ramp to I-81 South, while the right two lanes are for through traffic, and allow for connections to I-81 North beyond the overpass, and to US 11 after the interchange. Because 7th N. St. meets I-81 just one interchange south of I-90/New York Thruway, I-90 is noted on the sign for I-81 North.

Ground-level sign on EB 7th N. St. in front of the signalized intersection with the ramps to and from I-81 South. This interchange is a four-ramp parclo AB-2, with all ramps on the north side of the interchange. Again, I-90 gains mention with I-81 North because of the proximity of where it meets I-81 to this interchange.
