Funny traffic sign hack

I know it is just a sticker, but I wonder how much the DOT will charge to send a crew out to remove the sticker (if it can be removed without damaging the paint) and charge to the taxpayers of the area? Do the area taxpayers appreciate paying for "cute" vandalism?

Good revision.

I get stuck behind people every morning that think a sign stating: "Yield to Pedestrians" means wait until the four-lane road is utterly clear of traffic (during the morning commute) even though the lane you are turning into is a merge lane specifically for those turning onto the highway. I use my horn liberally.

Please help me out. Is it funny because it says, "No horn blowing except for anger," or does the sticker mean something? Cupcake anger?

@ Judgedredd #8:

It's funny because the sign originally said "no horn blowing except for danger," and someone managed to convey the opposite meaning by covering one letter.

There used to be a "DO NOT *ASS" sign on my route home from work. I always smiled as I drove by it. it was there for years. I called it "my favorite street sign."

ahh...

Jah we have more than one of those in NYC, there are, I think, two in my neighborhood. They don't get replaced. People honk all the time. I'm not from NYC and I hate all the honking. If your car isn't moving a half a second after the light changes, a town car honks at you. It's insane.

@5
Since there is a whole flickr group of the signs that have been modded all over NYC the same way, I don't think that the citizens of the city have to worry about their DOT being especially vigilant on this matter.

This sign would improve my neighborhood, where carpool drivers honk their horn to pick someone up. They never heard of cell phones?

No horn blowing (funny enough already).

Except for cupcake anger (priceless).

For a long while at Earl's Court tube station the lift doors message:

"OBSTRUCTING THE DOORS CAUSES DELAY AND CAN BE DANGEROUS"
