This reminds me of the tale about a donkey stood equal distance between 2 haystacks, as they are both the same distance away it cannot decide which one to go to and therefore starves to death. Hope the OP is OK
You would be a bit miffed if you stood in front of where the left hand sign is and walked the extra metre to the right hand lift and vice versa, so yes I would say that's a good sign or signs.
