It's a simple mistake.

Those letter templates aren't fastened together in the correct order to begin with, and unfortunately there's nothing nearby that could be used as a reference to help determine the correct order..

it's California.  If it's union workers, they will get paid overtime to fix it.  If it's contractors, they can't read English, anyway.

Sometimes I wonder how some people pass their drivers test. Every driver should know that STPO is an acronym for Still Taking Penis Orally.

A Dry Cleaner's near my house had a 'Drive Thur' lane for 3 years or so.
It was recently repainted.  Not corrected, just repainted.

This was the work of a very violent criminal street gang. It actually stands for "Shoot The Police Officers" and is not something to be made fun of.

More importantly:
Headline:
Stop sign spelled 'STPO' at Lemon Grove intersection

Reality:
The sign is spelled perfectly fine. The road marking, OTOH...

I mean, if ABC 10 News of SanDiego is going to point and laugh, the least they could do is make sure that their farking headline is accurate.

I wonder the reasoning for the crooked lines, since it is clearly intentional, and by design.

That one's actually intentional. It's in Scotland and the town believes that people drive slower if they think the road is crooked. You can see the faux curves on the sides too.

Yet the drivers are still drunk, look how they're driving on the wrong side of the road.

It's actually a very old word, it's an acronym from ocean liner days; "Starboard, To - Port, Outward" to distinguish  the people riding in steerage from the POSH (Port Outward, Starboard Home) passengers.

That's actually a prank by a randy road worker. It's short for "Bum Up".
