A highway sign on I-74 in Cincinnati is making the news because one of the names is misspelled. The eastbound exit sign for Exit 14 should read "Cheviot". Instead it reads "Chevoit".

Reminds me of the new sign for Nielsville, MN (https://www.google.com/maps/@47.532119,-96.8153924,3a,18.7y,207.91h,86.71t/data=!3m6!1e1!3m4!1sofGQuCtinplwDCYBtdectA!2e0!7i16384!8i8192?entry=ttu) on U.S. 75 south.
Probably the same guy who worked for VDOT and designed the "Syacmore Street" sign (since fixed). (https://www.arlnow.com/2011/12/06/i-66-sign-sports-a-misspelling/)
I overcaem dyslexia.
Happened twice in Connecticut: "Flatbnsh Avenue" (I-84) and "Bryam" (I-95)

As someone I knew had in his autosignature, "I may have Alzheimer's, but at least I don't have Alzheimer's."
Haven't seen this one on the forum before:

I think the title of this thread might be unnecessarily insulting.

Oh look, it's News10, my favorite local news station. Interesting that the graphics imply that the sign typo in another part of the state (News10 is an Albany station, although News Channel 9 in Syracuse is a fellow Nextar ABC affiliate) is "breaking news".

So did a dyslexic person design this sign or are you just making fun of people with disabilities for the sake of a (bad) joke.
I have a photo credit in the paper from many years ago for taking a picture of a sign with the town of Gibbstown spelled Gibbtsown on one of the signs. But I didn't think of it as a dyslexic issue; someone just designed the sign wrong.
A sign on US 377 in Pilot Point once pointed the way north to Whitestboro. That sign has disappeared down the memory hole but can still be seen if you want to go find newspaper microfilm from 2003-ish.
