One I saw recently was somehow a lot of mud ends up on this one very large park sign. It's really uniform. I don't know the natural process that gets it there but it's there. The sign is the lamest kind. It tells people to walk their bikes for the next quarter mile of trail because there are steep parts.
Some times people will write in the mud "live life" or something like that. Basically when it rains the mud softens and you can write with your finger. Then the sun will dry it and it's a pretty rugged medium.
But the best was when someone wrote free Palestine. It was up for a week. But then someone had to come when it rained again and smear it. Which if anything communicates what people really needed to see, which is why writing free Palestine was so genius.
Not quite subvertising but it's gorilla signage. In the same park I need to do something with the no guns allowed signs that are obscenely frequent. Sometimes you just want to enjoy nature and not see "guns bad" 20 times in a single hike. It's a county sign and every park has one in that county. One. But somehow this one park got 20. My instinct is to remove them, but if I can subvert them that's better.
If you can get some good photos of that "no guns" sign with the best colour-matching you can manage as well as measurements, perhaps we can develop a sticker(s) to cover it. If they're sequential along path(s) it might be fun and worth the extra effort to develop messaging with signs that can be understood 1) stand alone, 2) as a story, and 3) not important if you miss some.
I have a growing collection of photos of my guerilla stickers applied, and one of these days I'll upload it to Projex.
I've started re-upping some of the better memes from Gvid, WikiSpooks, and elsewhere to Projex. In part that's why I'm uploading a lot on Img.Gvid.TV lately. (Would be nice if "New" went deeper.)

I'll have to keep a look out for what I can do.

I encourage you to take photos to share!
Many times I talked with Winton about printing counter-propaganda stickers to go over city park signs of all sorts, small and huge - but the worst of COVID is past and shouting or fighting about that is largely beyond passé. (Now with my new laser printer I'll be ready for the "next big thing".) Also covering "Beware Impaired Drivers" to say "Beware Impaired Government" - a smaller more practical one-word sticker that could match size and colour easily - and might not be noticed for years.

I actually just made new clickable the other day. I've set it so the /new page has 30 images. Hopefully that's enough.
