Those are too good.
My favorite one to find is the letter "N" put op backwards on signs.
I also spell check the information billboards at schools, amazing the number of times there are words misspelled

if you noticed, that intersection is new construction, and it is only in base asphalt, not top coat.
the reason for this is that the utility company's are slower than molasses flowing uphill in the middle of winter in Alaska when it comes to moving poles.
so we pave the area around the pole. in most states, there are laws saying that if the road is paved and they do not remove the poles, then the utility company can be fined for each day they hold up progress.
on one project in north jersey, the utilities were told 18 months ago that they needed to re situate all the poles over a 1/4 square mile area.
last week they were hit with a $100,000 delay of project fine, because the roadway has been paved and waiting to be opened for the last 3 months.
and the fine is $500 per pole per day till they are all moved.
as of Friday afternoon at 3 pm, there were only 5 poles left to be moved.
18 months to drag their feet.
1 week to relocate and rewire 87 poles.
