Back in 2001, Richard Ankrom[0], installed his own Interstate 5 exit sign to an existing official Caltrans sign in Los Angeles, in order to better inform drivers of where the exit was.
The sticker, was made to Caltrans and DOT specifications, and affixed in broad daylight. Since the initial installation, Caltrans replaced the sign, but now adds the I-5 signage themselves.
Guerrilla public service can work people. ;)

- Piskvorrr 9y agoSorry, this doesn't scale. Yes, this was a benevolent alteration, and sort-of-approved ex post; once this would become a widespread modus operandi, most edits would be neutral at best, but likely to be malevolent - "I want my ad on the sign!" "I don't want the X-bound traffic to go by my street, let's move them over to the next exit!" "your edit is worse than my previous edit!" The traffic signage is not Wikipedia, for multiple reasons.`
