"Feds Ban Humorous Electronic Messages on Freeways"

The U.S. Federal Highway Administration has mandated the removal of humorous and quirky electronic messages from highways and freeways by 2026, citing potential misunderstandings and distractions for drivers. The new rules aim to ensure that signs convey only important information such as warnings of crashes, adverse weather, and traffic delays, as well as reminders about seatbelts and driving safety. Despite the decision, many people in Arizona express disappointment, as the clever messages on electronic signs have been a source of entertainment and attention-grabbing information.
