The sign was turned off and turned sideways so motorists couldn't see any message - just in case a hacker figured out how to turn it back on. Hahaa the DOT got pwn3d! 8-P |

I find it hilarious though, as we have one of these signs not far from my house and I'm certain everyone around here would try to do 100MPH if the sign said the speed limit was 100 MPH. Death, Taxes, Politics, Gas Prices, and Driving Habits. Five cans of worms you don't want to open. |
