"Federal Ban on Humorous Highway Signs Sparks Debate and Concern"

The U.S. Federal Highway Administration has issued a new manual banning humorous and quirky messages on electronic highway signs, citing potential misunderstandings and distractions for drivers. States have two years to implement the changes, which aim to prioritize simple, direct, and important information such as warnings for crashes, adverse weather, and traffic delays. This decision will phase out popular funny messages seen on signs in various states, sparking debate over federal government intervention and the role of humor in promoting safe driving.
