Pennsylvania DOT Sign Advertises Live Nudes off I-78
Sunday, March 16th, 2008Taxpayers know all too well that their tax dollars get wasted in a variety of ways. But using taxpayer owned equipment to advertise a strip club has to be a first.
A temporary electronic PennDOT sign was apparently tampered with and was programmed to visually display “Live Nudes Exit 45.” The sign sat on I-78 and exit 45 is for Route 863 in Lehigh County, Pennsylvania.
A motorist headed to work saw the sign in the eastbound shoulder. He indicated it took him a minute or two to comprehend what he had just seen. At that point he called a friend, and his friend urged him to double-back and get a picture of the road sign. That’s exactly what he did.
