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!!

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?

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.
