TUCSON, Ariz. — Arizona freeway drivers can get a chuckle out of the clever or unconventional messages posted on digital signs, reminding them to practice good habits behind the wheel.
Contestants submitted over 3,100 entries and from that pool, two winners were chosen via public votes.“We saw thousands of contest entries and votes and it’s great to see Arizonans continuing to be engaged in conversations about traffic safety,” ADOT Director John Halikowski said. “Think of others driving around you that want to get safely home to their loved ones.”
Both inspired by popular songs, the two winning messages encourage drivers to slow down and use proper signals. The contest winners, Kristen Brown of Mesa and Lisa Hayes of Gilbert, were invited to ADOT’s Traffic Operations Center to type their winning traffic safety message into the Dynamic Message Sign system.Keep an eye on ADOT's social media for future contest announcements.Anne Simmons is a digital content producer for KGUN 9.
