I'm sure we've all been emailed the photo a long time ago of the word school painted incorrectly on the street (can't find that one at the moment.)
So it's hard to believe it could keep happening. Here is another instance. Found it posted on the web site of KRLD 1080AM radio in Dallas.

Some red faces in the streets department in Miami after workers misspelled a word on the pavement in front of Gould Elementary School. That was the word: "school." They spelled it s-c-o-h-o-l, so instead of entering a school zone, drivers were entering a "scohol zone." And who discovered the error? A couple of students, of course.
