ADOT's Safety Message Contest is back for the 7th time
It’s that time again, Arizona!
ADOT’s Safety Message Contest is back for its seventh year and entries are open through July 25.
Have you ever wanted to see your traffic message on a Dynamic Message Sign (DMS) above the highway? Here’s your chance.
First, some ground rules:
- Messages must relate to traffic safety
- Three lines per message
- 18 characters per line
- No hashtags
- No emojis
- No phone numbers or websites
Got it? Great. Now, how will you enter this year’s contest? Will it be a traffic pun? Will it be a rhyme? Will it be a warning about driving distracted? It’s up to you!
Need some inspiration?
