Hacked construction signs alert motorists to breaking news: Trump is a 'lizard'
Construction signs: They tell you what lanes to avoid, what speed to travel at, and who to vote for in the 2016 presidential election.
Along Interstate 30 in West Dallas, Texas on Tuesday, motorists were confronted with a highly opinionated construction sign. No, the sign wasn't opining about the best exit signs to follow. It wanted you to know that Donald Trump "is a shape-shifting lizard."
A sign farther along the highway encouraged drivers to instead vote for presidential candidate Bernie Sanders. Later, a sign took a more bipartisan approach and let everyone know, "Work is canceled, go back home.”
