I don't think he was complaining about the fine.. more about public works and their inability to spell.. Minimum :)
Anyway, for the record the public work sectors never make those signs. They are always made by the private sector. Not that it matters though. I've seen worse. :haha:
Yeah... Public Works would never screw up......
