Sign warns about zombies

This happened on 1-255 Southbound just south of the Pontoon Beach exit. Someone changed IDOT's sign to read "DAILY LANE CLOSURES DUE TO ZOMBIES."

IDOT believes someone hacked the sign's computer remotely. While crewmembers were still on the scene after fixing the message, the display changed back to the hoax. Joe Gasaway with the Illinois Department of Transportation said,
"We've talked to the company that supplies these and they have a patch out there they've applied to the program to fix the problem."

Just last week, drivers in Austin, TX were warned about "Nazi zombies run!" and "The end is near." Pranksters there cut the padlock on the sign and changed the message.

Good point, Perhaps plastic Zombie dummies like the kind you find at haunted house rides or card board cut-outs of zombies will be a better choice.

Yes and add haunted house music being played from a stereo, and throw fake body parts that you can buy during halloween on the road. That be freaky
