A road in Gloucestershire was recently repainted, after local residents pointed out a spelling error on the markings. Instead of reading “Keep Clear”, the road markings in question read “Ceep Klear”. The error was located on Watermoor Road, near Paternoster School in Cirencester. Pictures of the sign made the rounds on social media, attracting hundreds of comments on Thursday.
It was initially speculated that the mistake was the responsibility of Gloucestershire County Council, which looks after local roads.
