Hacked Highway Sign Sets Speed Limit At 100 MPH
Message Changed On Electronic Construction Sign

VIENNA TOWNSHIP, Mich. -- The message was too good to be true.

An electronic highway sign on Interstate 75 in Michigan told drivers: "Speed limit 100 mph - go go go."

For months, the signboard in Genesee County had been alerting commuters to construction that starts this month.

Someone hacked the sign, which is controlled by a computer through a subcontractor.

State highway officials say they're investigating who changed it and how.

The speed limit in the area is 70.

Bill Shreck, a spokesman for the Michigan Department of Transportation, said officials "weren't amused" by the traffic message.

I can see the funny side of it

But speeds of excess of 100MPH can be dangerous.

dangerous but thrilling if you have somewhere to do it (People speeding)

the dangerous speed factor also depends on the car as even 70MPH could be dangerous in a clapped out old motor

In my experience, Michigan speed limit signs are treated merely as suggestions.
