As it turns out, hacked electronic road signs are actually a fairly easy prank to pull off, due to the fact that road workers rarely take the time to lock the boxes that the sign’s keyboards are connected to. This collection of already-hacked signs should be way more than enough to satisfy your funny road signs cravings

Hacking Road Signs Is Frightningly Easy and Funny (and Illegal)

You should never hack a road sign as part of a prank. But what if you know that there really are Zombies ahead? What then??
Apparently, while most road sign control pads are placed in a lock box, that box is rarely actually locked. And while most road signs are under password protection, that password is most generally just the default code “DOTS”
Of course, it makes sense that road signs aren’t all that protected.
