Florida school crosswalk misspelled as 'SCOHOL'

https://www.nydailynews.com/news/national/ny-florida-school-crosswalk-misspelled-20190419-osetedg4o5flnjq2otmq36fgf4-story.html

Whoever painted this crosswalk should probably go back to “SCOHOL.”

A driver in Doral, Fla. noticed that a crosswalk, which was supposed to be marked with the word “SCHOOL,” was ironically misspelled.

After local ABC affiliate WPLG pointed out the spelling error in a post that went viral on Thursday, the City of Doral revealed on Twitter that the school zone striping was handled by a hired contractor and would be fixed “expeditiously.”

The embarrassing error was corrected by Thursday evening.

Florida again...clearly a MAGAt contractor

Being an Engineer in South Florida dealing with stripers, I could easily see that happening.

I'm just surprised it lasted long enough for the public to be the first to notice it.
