Remember This? Road sign error (1993)

It is rare that a road sign would incorrectly spell the name of a suburb, town or city. In 1993, a road sign for westbound traffic on the Hume Highway at Villawood incorrectly spelt Liverpool as Liveprool. The Daily Telegraph Mirror documented how two workers from the Roads and Traffic Authority corrected the error in twenty-five minutes.
