The days of driving down 75 and seeing an electronic highway signs with a humorous message will soon be over.
No more “Only Rudolph should drive lit." So long, "Horns up, phones down." Goodbye, "Mama say buckle up Bobby Boucher." The federal government has had enough.
In a new 1,000-page manual, the U.S. Federal Highway Administration has given states two years to do away with electronic highway signs with funny or obscure messages, claiming they “can be misunderstood or distracting to drivers.”
According to FOX 4, by 2026 the electronic signs along highways should only be "simple, direct, brief, legible and clear," and “only be used for important information such as warning drivers of crashes ahead, adverse weather conditions and traffic delays.”
Signs with reminders to wear your seatbelt and warnings about the dangers of speeding or driving impaired will also be allowed.
