Electronic Construction Sign Displays Profanity In Houston Texas

Someone Changed a Construction Sign to Read Profanity

Houston residents passing by the intersection of Montrose and Westheimer were shocked when an electronic construction sign displayed a profane message on Monday.

What Did The Sign Say?

The sign first displayed a message about the weather but then switched to an expletive-laden command for drivers.

Witnesses reported the sign continued to display the message for hours before being turned off by a city inspector. However, officials from Houston Public Works have denied operating the sign and are currently trying to identify the sign's owner.

One employee noted that the part of the sign that controls its message is locked inside an attached box, indicating that whoever posted the vulgar message may have the necessary clearance or experience with the equipment to override it.
