A misspelt road marking was the result of "a contractor having a bad day", a council has said.
Paintwork directed motorists in Stafford to take the A34 (M6) "nouth" rather than north.
Staffordshire County Council said the mistake happened when a utility company resurfaced and repainted the road.
The authority, which became aware of the blunder on Tuesday, said: "It's got nothing to do with us, but it is being corrected by the contractor".
