Zombie Crossing?

Road signs in Austin recently warned of a different kind of traffic -- Zombie traffic.

The road signs, which normally warn drivers about traffic conditions, displayed these warnings: "Zombies ahead ... the end is near... run for cold climates!"

While city officials claimed to FOX News that the tampering could lead to jail time, nobody is going to get in trouble for warning the world about zombies. The company that owns the signs, Sterling Construction, would have to file a complaint with police for any legal action to be taken. Sterling owner Wayne Haggard told local KVUE-TV, "It's Austin. We have a sense of humor. Let it go."
