Let me guess...

It was a government sign, NOT a commercially paid sign.

A business would (1) NOT have designed it to be blurry.

(2) Tested it at the vender before delivery/payment!

(3) Made sure it was NOT distracting to drivers.

(4) Been fined BY the government powers-that-be.

"We certainly don't want to be slowing traffic down," said David Fischer, the center's director.

That damn sign caused traffic to slow to a crawl in the southbound lanes all the way from Airport Blvd to that new sign because even when they are announcing only one show, you can hardly read it. This was at 9 am, which is after the commute.

On my commute home from Mountain View there's a sign on 101 that tells you about the time it's likely to take you to get to 237 and then 880. It's been there long enough that it doesn't slow traffic any more, but when it was first turned on, it sure did. Now it only slows the traffic if it says something different, like an Amber Alert.
