Road Crews Misspell School near Southern Guilford HS (August 9, 2010) |
GREENSBORO N.C. (WGHP)—
In what might be the funniest misspelling in North Carolina, a road crew misspelled 'SCHOOL' near a high school in Guilford County.The picture, submitted by Sandy Terrell, shows where crews painted "SHCOOL" near the intersection of Drake Road and Wall Road outside Southern Guilford High School.
Update: Crews fixed the misspelling on Tuesday.
The road was recently repaved and crews were working to mark the school zones... or 'shcool' zones.
A spokesperson for Traffic Markings, a contractor that painted the road, said the company "made a mistake" and it would be fixed. The spokesperson said the paint is "interim paint" that is used before the final paint-job is applied to a road.
FOX8 contacted an employee at Southern Guilford High School who was unaware of the mistake, but said "I will have to check it out on my lunch break."
A few weeks ago, a viewer submitted a photo of a misspelling near Wendover Avenue and Interstate 40 in Greensboro. DOT crews misspelled Guilford on a detour sign.

Similar misspellings have been spotted across the country, including last year when a road crew painted "SCOHOL" on a road near Miami.
