Artist? Vandal? Reading advocate?
It’s not clear who hacked this portable downtown Los Angeles road sign, only that the vandalism in question was spotted last night in the Bunker Hill neighborhood.
Hat-tip to L.A. Weekly contributor Daina Beth Solomon who snapped a photo of the LED sign last night.
Embedded tweets below show the hacked sign from a few angles.
[UPDATED: Per a follow-up report from the Weekly, the company that owns the sign, Traffic Management Incorporated, as well as a spokesperson for the L.A. Department of transportation both acknowledged the sign was hacked]
