Classic! I love it.

[vash]

that is AWESOME! (as a zombie threat fan)

but as a highway person: that is also dangerous as hell. those signs saves lives.

some drivers are clueless. if a highway worker gets killed because some lame driver didnt know an upcoming lane was closing...that would be a shame.

That's seriously funny.

In 1986 we installed one of those signs on the Canal St entrance to the Manhattan Bridge...

Instead of the normal 12345678 test text you normally see during the test phase of the sign install.... we wrote

"Lets Go Mets!"

NYCDOT was not amused..

[porsche4life]

Those are easier to hack than you would think...

[rouxroux]

Just a guess, but I imagine there were a few trucks/cars pulled over on the shoulder right past that sign....

That's true, but then again, nearly the whole town is.

Another excellent speculation. That sign is on the same street and is not very far from McBride's gun shop.

That's funny.

Is it upsetting you that this thread has not been moved to PARF? Or are you still just hoping for some more attention?

=OR= It could be a sign right outside of Antone's. Ah, good times playing there "back in the day".

[lm6y]

I guess it isn't that hard.
