    My two favorite parts from the video:

    1. He wouldn't have gotten caught, but he wanted to. Even then it took Caltran 8 years to replace the sign with something pretty much the same as his work.

    2. He has done other things like it, currently unknown, since he can now keep his mouth closed about it.

    A pretty good mini doc of how a sign artist had managed to put up a much needed sign for the 110 in California that CalTran was slow to implement.
