HONOLULU (AP) - State transportation workers will be closing several lanes of a busy Honolulu freeway in order to take down a giant sticker covering a corner of an exit sign.
Transportation spokesman Dan Meisenzahl says workers in cherry pickers on Monday will be removing the QR sticker, which is about 16 square feet.

When scanned by a cellphone, the code sends the Web browser to a local clothing company.

A representative of the company UDOWN says they didn't know about the sticker until someone told them about it last week.

Meisenzahl says those responsible for putting up the sticker are putting themselves, motorists and workers at risk.

Two lanes of the H-1 freeway will close to remove the sticker from the westbound Vineyard Boulevard exit sign.

Are you going to tell us when so we can be prepared for it? That info would be quite helpful.

Want to find the culprit? Find out who purchased the 16 square foot sticker. I'm sure some kid did not go out of his way to order and purchase a 16 square foot sticker. I'm sure the company had some sort of "encouragement" for this sticker to be put up, something like free merchandise for life to whomever can get it up.

Those lame decals are seen all over on Oahu roadways. So much so that I personally do not patronize nor do I encourage friends to do also.
