1 Minute Parking in LA? Sign With 'Typo' Goes Viral

A "typo" in a Los Angeles traffic sign that mistakenly advertised "1 Minute Parking" was remedied over the weekend after a photo of the misprint went viral online.

The "1 Minute Parking" sign has reportedly been posted up outside 11777 San Vicente Boulevard in Brentwood, California, since 2011, according to Breitbart. But it just now drew some attention after Los Angeles Times writer Laura Davis tweeted out a photo of the error on Friday.

On my way to Fresno. Probably no "1 minute parking" signs there, but I'll be on the lookout: http://t.co/rSH40v3Qyd pic.twitter.com/McjnkyBvPh

News of the "1 Minute Parking" typo spread so quickly that the Los Angeles Department of Transportation came out later on Friday and replaced the notice with what it should have originally read — "1 Hour Parking."
