AUBURN, Calif. -

A privately posted sign near a pre-school is certainly grabbing the attention of drivers. However, it may not serve its intended purpose.

The sign mistakenly reads "Please Slow Drively" instead of "Please Drive Slowly." It has puzzled drivers who travel by it in Auburn, California.

"I think they need to go to pre-school," one little girl told KTXL Fox 40. "Maybe they are pre-schoolers."

Some drivers speculate the mistake was made on purpose to grab the attention of drivers and, in turn, make them slow down.

"I would keep on looking and I would keep on driving -- slowly," one driver told KTXL.

In Cali? Nah, simple. The wording was originally in Spanish, and they forgot to transpose the verb when translating it to English.

Stopping is not the same as slowing drively.
