“LIVE NUDES EXIT 45”
It’s not the travel tip you’d expect to see on a portable Pennsylvania Department of Transportation road sign along Interstate 78.That’s what Bethel Township resident Rick Yeakley thought Sunday as he passed the sign shortly after 7 a.m. as skies were brightening.“I saw it and thought, ‘That can’t be right,’ ” he said.Exit 45 is for Route 863 in Lehigh County.
Yeakley said he was headed to military duty at the Lehigh Valley Navy Operational Support Center when, somewhere between the Kutztown and Lenhartsville exits, he spotted the electronic sign on the eastbound shoulder.“It took me a minute or two, but then I called a buddy of mine and he said I should turn back and get a picture of it.”
That’s exactly what Yeakley did.“I couldn’t believe it,” he said. “Someone must have hacked in there somehow.”PennDOT Engineering District 5 spokesman Ronald J. Young Jr. said the evidence showed someone tampered with the sign.Young said PennDOT was contacted by state police about 8:30 a.m. and immediately sent someone to the site. The message was removed by 9, he said.It is unknown how long the message appeared on the sign, Young said.The sign appears to have been tampered with on site, Young said.
