Flow arrows in pipe labels in a split profile view seem to be drawn from the split location of the adjacent structures, rather than along the pipe. Please see attached image.
While my flow arrows run along the pipe, not horizontally like yours, it was looking strange when the direction arrow component Fixed Length was not set to False. It was showing the arrow across the split, but changed the slope of the arrow, depending on the Adjusted Datum for the split region. If you limit the length of the arrow, it labels one split region or another and does not cross the region boundary.

New knowledge is the most valuable commodity on earth. -- Kurt Vonnegut
@tcorey When we set the flow arrow fixed length to False, it verifies what we suspected initially in that the arrow runs from the invert out of the upstream structure to the invert in of the downstream structure. Just not sure why the arrow is pulling it's 'slope' from the profile view rather than the elevations of the structures or slope of the pipe. The work-around for now is to remove slope arrows from the label, especially on steep pipes as shown in the original image. If the contractor/reviewer cannot figure out which way is 'down' on something that steep . . . .they are not qualified to build or review this work.
