Can You Spot the Mistake on This NJ Road Sign? We Bet You Can’t!

Not long ago, I was driving in Camden County when I saw something interesting.

A big yellow road sign didn’t look quite right.

I laughed when I turned around to make sure what I thought I saw was true, but then I thought about how many people have been driving by this sign for years without realizing it had a very obvious mistake.

Of course, road signs do have typos and other issues from time to time. It’s clear that the people who make them aren’t perfect.

“Yeild” on the Garden State Parkway

A few years ago, I saw this mistake on a sign on the Garden State Parkway…

Yes, the word “yield” was written wrong. The rule “I before E except after C” that we all learned in second grade must have been forgotten.

This kind of mistake can be a lot bigger sometimes.

PENNDOT’s Philly Problem

PENNDOT was in the news a few months ago when they forgot to proofread a big green sign in Philadelphia.

How Many Zs in “Verrazzano”

And those around Staten Island know that countless road signs spelled “Verrazzano” with only one “z” for a long time.

Many of those have been fixed over the years.

Funny Error on NJ Road Sign

But back to what I saw in the Sicklerville area of Camden County, can you figure out what is wrong with this sign?

That is a graphical representation of a sign that cautions drivers about the road being slippery when wet.

Let’s take a closer look…

You’ve probably seen a sign like that thousands of times but never really payed close attention to it.

But that particular sign has a pretty big error. Any idea what it is?

I could just give you the answer, but that would be too easy.

If you think you know the answer, want to take a guess, or you just can’t figure it out and it’s driving you nuts, drop me an email and I’ll let you know if you are correct.

Good luck!
