    Relative to forward travel it’s 45°.

      True, although since you’re specifically referring to the angle indicated by the painting on the road, referring to the angle of the painted arrow itself would be clearer.

        ? I’m saying the painting on the road should be painted as 45° instead of its current 90°.

          I think they’re saying the arrow would be drawn at a 135° angle compared to the “vertical” base.

            If you’re driving and someone says to do a 180° turn, do you continue driving straight or do you turn around? Angle is measured by direction of travel. Works for 90° too which is probably the confusion.
