Misleading advertising is illegal in the EU and I assume that the same is true (to some extent) for most places outside the USA:
Whether the advertising above is illegal, would be for courts to decide. It depends if an average customer would fall for it. That would also depend on the circumstances: Next to a highway where you only have half a second to read the sign, it would be illegal, but maybe not next to a footpath where you can read it for 2 minutes before passing it.
