Those driving to Westfield on Christmas morning got a big surprise when exit 135 on the Garden State Parkway read “Clark Griswold,” instead of “Clark/Westfield.”

The prankster(s) used “Griswold” in reference to Chevy Chase’s character in the classic holiday film National Lampoon classic Christmas Vacation.

State police confirmed photos posted online of the prank are real. The sign has since been removed by the Turnpike Authority, according to nj.com.
