Iconic Purple Directional Signs Being Replaced

[tparris]

The sign is fixed and operational! Sorry for the lack of photos but I was on the way in for work

This is not true. You must have been looking at a different sign, because as of today the sign is still not fixed and looks the same as the photo from @DCBaker

How did they hit the sign but not the overpass? Very strange.

It is weird. Maybe the sign ripped off whatever would have come into contact with the overpass?

I imagine that after hitting the sign the truck stopped. I assume it was a truck with some kind of boom in the back and they didn't secure the boom in the lowered position.

My theory was that they backed up and turned around across the median, but this is also entirely plausible.

Something that extends makes sense since anything that tall would/should have been an oversized load on a pre-planned route.

I still think it was a mad max style vehicle like pictured below. The turret came into contact with the sign and was sheared off. The family then proceeded to the wilderness campground and enjoyed their vacation only noticing the missing turret the next morning.

Ok… I’m done being weird now.

This makes me wonder if the large sign on I-4 how it is now when your leaving Disney somewhere after SeaWorld or Before. That sign got smashed too but less surprising as this.

Shoot, totally right. Noticed it on my way back yesterday. Sorry for the false alarm - that would be a quick fix by anybody's standards!
