Spelling error catching drivers' eyes:

A PennDOT road sign on Rt. 222 in Lancaster County has drivers talking. News 8 has more on the mistake that caught everyone's eye.

Epharta, Pennsylvania.

Sold the TC, previous owner of 2 NorthStar pop-ups & 2 Northstar Arrows...still have the truck:

2005 Dodge 3500 SRW, Qcab long bed, NV-6500, diesel, 4WD, Helwig, 9000XL,
Nitto 285/70/17 Terra Grapplers, Honda eu3000Is, custom overload spring perch spacers.

Even the news people didn't get it. Not only is "Ephrata" spelled "Epharta", but the route number says "322" and the news folks said its on "222".
I saw a story on TV once about a road crew that had stenciled "School Crossing" on a road in front of a school, but they spelled it "Scool".

Retired and visiting as much of this beautiful country as I can.

"Ford V-10"
"2013 Toyota Corolla on Tow Dolly"

Don't forget Blue Ball & Virginville..........!

On edit: This sign alone should dispel the notion that correct spelling doesn't matter.

Hmmm...there's just something about Pennsylvania!
