UPDATE November 28th:
Those in charge of traffic signs in Cherryville are tired of being laughed at.
The North Folk street sign (which should read North Fork) has been removed and the old faded sign has been reinstalled, according to some local residents.

ORIGINAL November 26th:
Due to a typo on a highway sign, some Cherryville residents wondered if a main street had been renamed.
The sign on Highway 6 says North Folk Rd AHEAD – but it should be North Fork.
“Oh dear, someone doesn’t know how to spell correctly,” commented a resident on the Facebook post. “Reminds me of the one who was here a few years ago when she misspelled school on a zebra crossing in front of the school.”

Another comment reads, “Take care of the North Folk, Cherryville creeps with them.”
Cherryville director Hank Cameron believes he knows the culprit.
“The Forestry Department, for whatever reason, it happened years ago, they put that in a correspondence,” Cameron said. “It was about eight or nine years ago so people laugh about it.
“It shows that the government also makes mistakes.”
