I've been following along with this for awhile and was wondering the 
same thing - about putting the arrow heads side-by-side, but then 
realized it might be misinterpreted as a repeat movement that gets lower 
as it's repeated.   The only other option I could think of was if the 
movement arrows were smaller.  Three small movement arrows together 
might be seen as less of an impact on the total sign.

original arrows:
