It seems each state's DOT is trying to outdo each other in coming up with these catchy rhymes. Perhaps there should be a contest for the best & worst, called the "Burma Shave Signs Memorial" competition.  :D

Around here, 'bikers' and 'cyclists' are used interchangeably to describe bicycle riders. 

Your area's biker bars must look–and smell–a lot different.   :D

Found this on Instagram from the 4th...I guess this is what happens when millennials are in charge of VMS messages?

Anyone know where this was taken??

A friend of mine who was a cross-county 18-wheeler trucker said she saw those last year, and only in Utah.

Maryland used this one over the past V-Day --

This is cu2010, reminding you, help control the ugly sign population, don't have your shields spayed or neutered.

When I look at the simulation of all of Maryland's VMS signs, I see there's currently only one pithy rhyme.

There was one message in Utah where some wiseass figured how to reprogram the construction VMS on I-15 to say a homophobic message a few years back.  I think that has to be the most absurd message one could ever do on a public road sign.

It's considered a sin to put ketchup on hot dogs in the city of Chicago. That's what it's referring to it.

That should read "it is a sin to put ketchup on hot dogs".  :)
