Detour Sign Permits Drivers to Ignore One Way

For the first time ever, drivers are given the privilege of a detour that puts their car in harm’s way. According to sources, a detour sign directing cars to drive directly into oncoming traffic offers motor vehicle operators the thrill of wrecking their cars for no good reason at all.

The picture was posted to social media this week and got widespread attention with an astronomical 4 shares. People commented with mixed emotions about the sign with some praising it and others stating that it is "not dangerous enough."

"We have been asking for traffic laws to become nonsensical for years," states one person who doesn't exist. "Having a detour sign pointing in the wrong direction is a step in the right direction. However, we still are waiting for one to point cars to drive off the edge of a cliff."

Venango County officials are working hard to change the traffic laws to less sensical standards. A bill was presented to the Venango County House of Representatives this week asking for both red and green to mean go at the same time. Officials state that giving all four crossings at an intersection the go-ahead would help drivers save time in making poor decisions. Unfortunately, the bill was vetoed because all the traffic lights in Venango County are burned out anyway.

So far, no driver has taken advantage of the detour sign pointing drivers into oncoming traffic. Locals say that this is due to the potholes flattening their tires just before they can get to the intersection. PennDOT states that they intend to address this issue by not fixing it at all.

The detour sign is not a permanent privilege. While officials are working hard to give the community a permanent sign, locals only have till next month to drive into oncoming traffic. Once the sign has served its nonsensical purpose, it will be placed in a nearby town where it will direct vehicles to drive into a brick wall.
