"Phoenix Breaks Rainfall Record on Easter Sunday"

Phoenix set a new daily rainfall record of 0.5 inches on Easter Sunday, breaking the previous record set in 1949. This marked the first measurable rainfall on Easter Sunday since 1999, with the most rain on Easter recorded in 1989. The rainfall was attributed to a cold front moving down from northern Arizona, leading to wet roads across the state and prompting the Arizona Department of Transportation to advise drivers to slow down and leave extra braking room.

"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.
