This highway message had a blunt message for drivers.
An LED sign flashing along a roadway in India looked as if it would encourage motorists to puff recreational drugs with a message of “smoke weed on a regular basis,” based on reports.
The shocking message was seen flashing in Mumbai as an alternative of typical traffic instructions near a construction area, based on United Press International, citing a tweet posted Tuesday of an undated video.
Officials blamed the directive on a technical issue, the outlet reported, citing India Today.
The joint commissioner for traffic with the Mumbai police, Pravin Padwal, told India Today Tuesday the corporate in command of the sign explained to him that due to “some technical glitch last night, a improper message was flashing on the display.”
A employee with the corporate, L&T, contacted IT to handle the issue and the sign was shut off until it was fixed, Padwal said, based on India Today.
