This Colorado Street Sign Has Been Lying To Drivers

A street sign in Littleton has gained some attention after it was pointed out that what it reads is actually not true.

The sign in question is located at West Berry Avenue which enters Bow Mar, a town with a population of around 900, reports 9NEWS.

"I see this sign that says it's 'Not a Through Street,' it doesn't go to Sheridan. And I'm like, 'wait a second? Sheridan comes to here,'" Littleton resident Jared Ewy told 9NEWS. "Is there some sort of Bow Mar space-time thing?"

After taking a look, 9NEWS confirmed that if you keep driving straight past the sign you end up intersecting Sheridan.

A spokeswoman for the city of Littleton told 9NEWS that the sign was not put up by the city. City of Littleton signs are usually on silver posts and the "No Access To Sheridan" sign is on a green post.

"I'm sure these are all amazing people on the other side of that sign, but it's a lie. It's a total lie. You can get to Sheridan," said Ewy. "They could probably get away with 'Not a Through Street' because maybe it wiggles enough that technically it's not a through street. But then they say there's 'No Access to Sheridan.' It goes right to Sheridan."
