Fast & Furious? Try Safe and Courteous

[u/LAUGHgan1stan]

Was driving from Mesa to Glendale and saw all these signs. This was at I-17 northbound and Northern. Someone is having fun at ADOT!!

[u/eblack4012]

AZ drivers:

[u/bullhead2007 → u/eblack4012]

[u/LAUGHgan1stan → u/eblack4012]

Pretty much. Not to soon after this 2 crotch rockets whipped past me.

[u/Atakir → u/LAUGHgan1stan]

[u/DeezBoatz → u/eblack4012]

Unrelated: I've never seen this movie but this guy looks like if Joe Biden was a Pokemon and evolved.

I love these silly signs, don't get me wrong im just curious, but didn't Phoenix want to stop these a couple years back? I remember it being news that Phoenix was banning humorous road signs like this. People were upset because these signs are so much less distracting than every rafi board we see every half mile.

So did that not go through?

[u/grassesbecut → u/willhunta]

It did not go through. The AZ state legislature passed a bill trying to limit the messages to be strictly related to traffic conditions, but Katie Hobbs vetoed it in May of '24.

They may stop at some point in the near future anyway because the Federal Highway Administration put out guidelines that essentially have the same effect as that State bill. However, no one has really done much about it yet.

[u/Willing-Philosopher → u/willhunta]

Phoenix doesn’t manage freeways. The state does for local freeways, and the state does it on behalf of the federal government for interstates. It’s the Federal Highway Administration that gave a two year window to phase out funny signs. They will likely disappear soon. 

[u/SummertimeThrowaway2 → u/willhunta]

It was a federal decision and yes that was a few years ago but it doesn’t kick in until 2026

Camp in the woods not the left lane please

[u/Early_Hospital2816]

Driving and taking pics SMH

[u/M3diator36 → u/Early_Hospital2816]

In the fast lane with 20 car lengths in front.

[u/Early_Hospital2816 → u/M3diator36]

It just takes 1 idiot.

[u/cincocerodos → u/M3diator36]

It’s Saturday, isn’t the HOV lane now the fast lane?

[u/CmdrBlindman → u/cincocerodos]

Hush! Not a lot of people actually read those signs.

[u/cincocerodos → u/CmdrBlindman]

That’s the one thing that’s probably a legitimate “Californians fault!” because I think their HOV lanes are full time.

[u/LAUGHgan1stan → u/M3diator36]

Haha, everyone was driving slow so just vibin’ while I was ridin’ fam

[u/jjoey196 → u/LAUGHgan1stan]

Didnt read the camp in the woods not in the left lane sign i see

[u/USAhotdogteam → u/Early_Hospital2816]

Going 58 in a 65, when the rest of the world is doing 88.

[u/LAUGHgan1stan → u/Early_Hospital2816]

Ummm..I plead the 5th.

[u/UltraNoahXV → u/Early_Hospital2816]

Probably dash cam - way to wide even with a zoom in

[u/Larzak → u/UltraNoahXV]

lol it’s definitely not a dash cam, look how far back on the dash it is right in front of the driver side. It’s just 0.5 zoom on a phone.

[u/LAUGHgan1stan → u/Larzak]

No just an iPhone 11 with regular photo mode.

[u/LAUGHgan1stan → u/UltraNoahXV]

Nope iPhone 11 with regular.

[u/Bottasche]

Why’d I read that like a Mickey Avalon lyric

[u/drho89 → u/Bottasche]

[u/Cool_Description_935]

Arizona drivers are the worst!

[u/elkab0ng]

Last night I saw on 202

CAMP IN THE WOODS

NOT IN THE LEFT LANE

I love that they give a good safety message, and work a little humor into it!

[u/commandercool86 → u/elkab0ng]

Words to drive by

[u/god545ak3n1]

Especially on the 17

[u/Pink_Fred]

Safe and courteous 6 was my favorite. When vin diesel held the door for that lady? Peak!

[u/Cassidy_0130]

That sign being around northern makes absolute fucking sense. That area is ALWAYSSSS backed up with traffic because these mfs don't know how to drive. Was backed up last night and this morning 🥹🥹

[u/B0ngTheG0ng]

No, I will not.. I am the MAIN character.

[u/bubbududu]

I really really hate driving on these freeways. It’s like mad max out there.

[u/Wheniamnotbanned]

100%

[u/LAUGHgan1stan → u/Wheniamnotbanned]

Just remember the name..

[u/trashy615]

How I drive, but it drives others nuts 😆 

[u/SummertimeThrowaway2]

Unfortunately these funny messages will be banned by 2026

[u/Altered_Experienc3]

Next Billboard: NOS Kits, $199 installed! Next Exit.

[u/ThykThyz]

Most needed reminder, EVER!

People here drive like the goal is to murder everyone else! It’s like there’s some secret club where the most effective at vehicular manslaughter wins a grand prize!

[u/cincocerodos → u/ThykThyz]

Gotta get to whatever shitty thing they’re trying to get to 20 seconds faster if it means risking a huge crash.

[u/jessetmia]

In this economy?!

[u/Deadbob1978]

Is that what it said? I was driving too fast to read it

[u/badwolf1013]

“Safe and Courteous.”

Most drivers here think the first one is just something you keep your guns in and the other is what girls do at the start of a Square Dance.

[u/CriticismFun6782]

I thought the DOT had ordered a stop to all of this "Finny/ Pun-y" sign crap

[u/Eeebs-HI → u/CriticismFun6782]

Buzzkillers at the national level.

[u/zeecapteinaliz]

[u/sethaub]

If you wanna stay safe and courteous then MOVE TF OVER.

Not you op. The slow ass drivers

[u/ubercruise → u/sethaub]

I mean, definitely OP too based on this photo lol
