Electronic Construction Sign In Texas Flashes Offensive Message

Posted: September 14, 2023 at 9:52 am

Motorists in Houston did a double take on the road earlier this week when an electronic construction sign flashed a strange and offensive message at them.

Drivers saw the sign which first read, “Due to the weather,” and were shocked when it then flashed “Go [expletive] yourself.” Some were able to snap photos of the messages and shared them on social media. The sign apparently displayed the message for several hours before a city inspector showed up and shut it down. Houston Public Works said they do not operate the sign and are investigating who may have been able to access the controls which are locked inside a box.
