"Federal Government Halts ODOT's Humorous Safety Signs"
The Federal Highway Transportation has instructed the Ohio Department of Transportation to adhere to new guidelines for highway safety signs, including a recommendation to avoid humor and pop culture references. ODOT's unique signs have not caused any crashes in Ohio, and the department will continue to develop unique warnings while keeping the new guidelines in mind. The timeline for these changes is about 2 years, and the public is invited to submit suggestions for ODOT signs.
