Maine Drivers Warned of Zombie Danger
October 11th, 2012
PORTLAND, Maine (AP) — Drivers may have gotten a chuckle out of an electronic message board in Maine warning of zombies, but city officials were not amused.
The sign at a Portland road construction site was changed by a hacker to read “Warning Zombies Ahead!” on Wednesday morning. It originally read “Night work 8 pm-6 am. Expect delays.”
City spokeswoman Nicole Clegg says the signs are a safety precaution and changing it could have led to driver distraction.
She tells The Portland Press Herald tampering with a safety device is a misdemeanor punishable by up to a year in jail and a $1,000 fine.
She says it’s not clear who changed the sign, but it’s not the first time it has happened.
Wow, lol
Oh wow thatz crazy i would’ve deff did a u turn lol
HILARIOUS! LOVE ZOMBIES! LOL!
That’s some funny **** lol

Saw the same thing once in CT, 190 west bound after merging from Exit 47W off I91. I had to do a double take.
I think people would be more cautious with the zombies ahead sign than with the construction ahead sign anyways not something u see everyday u u would def be on the lookout! Prob saved a life!!??
