Vagina sculpture traps US student

1-minute parking spurs ire in L.A.
LOS ANGELES (AP) — An erroneous street sign spotted last week had motorists in Los Angeles scratching their heads.
The sign said “1 minute parking” and was posted near the intersection of San Vicente Boulevard and Montana Avenue.
A photo of the sign went viral online, eliciting amusement and outrage alike.
Transportation department spokesman Jonathan Hui confirmed Monday that the sign was a typo, not a prank.
Hui says the transit agency didn’t receive a formal complaint about the 60-second parking window, but a staff member noticed the online chatter and reported it for repairs.
The faulty sign was replaced Friday with a “1 hour parking” sign.
