Rather than encouraging motorists to avoid drinking and driving, a traffic sign in Southern California was recently hacked to display an unusual message: “Vote Donald Trump.”
A husband and wife first noticed the pro-Trump digital advisory, positioned just off the side of Interstate 15 in Corona, Calif., on their way home from the movies on Christmas day, a local news station reported Monday.
The full text of the traffic sign reads: “Inland Empire supports Donald Trump. Merry Xmas. Vote Donald Trump.”
A spokesperson for California’s Department of Transportation declined to specify whether the sign supporting the Republican front-runner was reprogrammed by someone within the state agency, but noted that the message was removed on Sunday.
A video of the sign, posted to Facebook on Saturday, has been shared nearly 7,500 times.
