The one I saw on Star Wars Day in Massachusetts was different, although it was still about littering. It said that only the Sith litter. It was on an 8×3 instead of a 15×3, which might have been why it was different.

Quote from: GaryV on May 05, 2024, 07:14:04 AMOne I've seen for a couple days in SE Mich (maybe slight paraphrase):

HEAT STROKE KILLS
CHECK THE BACK SEAT

Yeah, right. I forgot I had the kid with me. But I'll remember to check the back seat just in case there's a kid in there.

Sadly, there is a target demographic for that sign that needs to be reminded.

"WEIGHT STATION

NY has some interesting VMS messages right now.  There's "ghost your phone while driving" and "hocus pocus drive with focus".  But my favorite is the one we're using in Region 1: "slow down in work zones my mummy works here".

I think IDOT is going for a literal definition of "ghosting" - kinda dark, even for Halloween!

Indeed, I just came here to mention these.

I haven't seen the mummy one yet, but earlier this week Rochester area VMS's had:

A SEATBELT CLICK // STAY ALIVE TRICK

... which took a couple of rotations for me to fully comprehend what I was reading, LOL.

WisDOT is using "hocus pocus drive with focus" too. I wonder how many states are using that one.

NDOT was also using "Hocus pocus. Drive with focus" this week.

Another one used in both Reno and Vegas this week: "Leave the flying to witches & bats. Watch your speed."
