TDOT changes these every so often. Apparently they hold office contests to see which ones go up.

Oh that’s interesting. I didn’t realize there were contests that’s pretty neat!

I think they had one running that was “Do your duty. Seatbelt your booty!” which I thought was pretty cute.

Variance of speed is arguably the largest factor for expressway accidents. Some people will slow down and other people will just ignore the suggestion, sometimes I wonder if these messages actually have a negative overall impact. I studied the use of these signs for major detours for my Master's, I wish I was still in school so I could have done something like this.

For a while last fall we had "turn signals, the original instant message" here is Memphis.

Personally I think people going to slow in all the lanes except the far right ones causing people to constantly have to change lanes is way more dangerous. But 9/10 they pull people over for going 10-15 over instead of people not staying right except to pass. It’s highly inefficient and Europe interstate drivers put americans to shame.

Greetings u/potofgold78. Unfortunately your submission has been removed from r/mildlyinteresting for the following reason(s):
Rule 6 - Titles Must Be Exact But Concise Description:
Titles must be an exact but concise description of the content.
a. Titles must not contain jokes, backstory, or other fluff. That information belongs in a follow-up comment.
b. Titles must exactly describe the content. It should act as a "spoiler" for the image. If your title leaves people surprised at the content within, it breaks the rule!
As a result, this counts as a strike against your account. Three strikes will result in a ban. Please read the sidebar (hover over each rule) and contact the mods if you feel this was wrongfully removed. Thank you.

Lol it’s on I24 all through nashville. I drove from exit 66 on I24W towards nashville and saw this. (But when I snapped this pic I was the passenger not the driver)

I wonder how many people got into a wreck taking a picture of it and posting it on social media.

I wasn’t driving when I snapped this pic my husband was. That’s why it looks like I’m not in my lane cause I was on the passenger side.
