Computer-controlled road signs in Texas have been targeted by pranksters for a second time.
Last weekend, it was reported that warning notices in Austin had been changed by hackers, reading "zombies ahead" after originally informing drivers that they were approaching a construction area.
Motorists in Lubbock spotted a new prank yesterday when another surprising message flashed up on a sign, reading: "OMG The British R coming. They R watching you."
The mobile sign had been placed before a construction site but has now been removed.
A statement from local authorities confirmed that the electronic sign's message board had been hacked by someone "with a questionable sense of humour".
The original zombie prank was described as "really serious" and a "crime" by Austin's public works department last weekend.
