‘Raptors Ahead’ Sign Gets Stares, Chuckles: Indiana Road Sign Urges Dinosaur Awareness
Abstract:A hacked electronic road sign in Hamilton County, Indiana, amused motorists in a construction zone because it displayed “Raptors Ahead Caution”. The odd road sign came days after a construction sign message in Austin, Texas that warned motorists of “Zombies Ahead”. Both incidents occurred within weeks of various articles appearing online with descriptions of how to hack into the road signs, while pointing out that such an act is illegal.
