Residents have been left scratching their heads after street staff painted the phrase 'SLOW' backwards on the tarmac.
A video and photographs shared online show the back-to-front warning on a street in Penge, south London, together with two workman in high-vis jackets who appear to have simply finished painting it.
Bemused native Kim Cooper-Grindle, who spotted the lads at work, asked 'Why would it's essential to go sluggish wanting in your rear-view mirror, you've already passed?'
She added: 'It happened on Monday January 15 at roughly 11.30am. But they have not returned."
Kim joked: 'Our concern is that there shall be hoards of people visiting to see the famous WOLS, it can turn into a Penge vacationer attraction like Barnard fort.'
Meanwhile, residents in a group Facebook group questioned whether or not the spelling was intentional or a mistake.
Some requested if it was 'for testing your eyesight?' or 'testing when you can read back to front'.
While another wrote: 'Owls down – it might all wrok uot advantageous within the edn.'
In April final yr street staff managed to, somewhat embarrassingly, spell the word 'SCHOOL' wrong outdoors Llangyfelach Main in Swansea.
