Dynamic Message Boards

It's that time again! Time for you to vote for your favorite in our fourth annual Safety Message Contest. Which entry would you like to see on our overhead freeway boards?

Beginning Wednesday, motorists on Arizona highways will see messages on Dynamic Message Signs encouraging them to stop the spread of COVID-19.

Drive safely on the roads this week. Make your dog proud.

PHOENIX – Man’s best friend and a clever play on words were the big winners in the Arizona Department of Transportation’s Safety Message Contest.

After tallying more than 5,000 votes for the 15 safety message finalists, the winning messages are:

From Tuesday, May 14, through Monday, May 20, you can view and vote for your favorite safety message at azdot.gov/signcontest. The two messages that receive the most votes will be displayed on Dynamic Message Signs statewide.

Within 24 hours of launching our Safety Message Contest, we’d received more than 1,400 entries. After 48 hours the total number of submissions had climbed to 2,000.

For the third time, the Arizona Department of Transportation is holding its Safety Message Contest, giving you the chance to see your punny, witty, snarky or serious safety slogans on overhead signs, encouraging drivers to make better decisions behind the wheel. Messages can be submitted at azdot.gov/signcontest through Monday, April 29. In the past two contests, ADOT received a combined 9,000 entries.

Highway safety is important at ADOT and we work to keep it top of mind for drivers throughout the year.

In an effort to encourage drivers to make better decisions behind the wheel, motorists will see Christmas-themed safety messages on ADOT’s overhead signs.

PHOENIX – “How long until we get there?”

If you’re used to hearing those words over and over while driving on Interstate 17 between Phoenix and Flagstaff, the answer is now on the Arizona Department of Transportation’s electronic message boards.

As it does along Phoenix-area freeways, ADOT has started posting estimated travel times via I-17 to Cordes Junction, Prescott, Sedona, Flagstaff and other points north of the Valley.

With drivers heading out on Memorial Day weekend trips along state highways, the Arizona Department of Transportation’s network of message signs will carry essential travel and safety information.

Thanks to everyone who entered the ADOT Safety Message Contest, and thanks to those responsible for the 2,500 votes we received.

The votes are in and Arizonans have selected the winners of the Arizona Department of Transportation’s Safety Message Contest.

Those heading toward downtown Phoenix on eastbound Interstate 10 may have noticed that estimated travel times aren’t appearing on some Arizona Department of Transportation overhead message boards, while estimated travel times to some West Valley locations aren’t on boards for traffic using westbound I-10.

ADOT Director John Halikowski calls on Arizona citizens to vote for the next safety message you want to see on ADOT message boards.

ADOT is always looking to provide better customer service to Arizonans - and to recognize employees that provide that service.

It was so popular last year that we're bringing it back again this year! The ADOT Safety Message Contest launches today.

Encourage safe driving by entering the Arizona Department of Transportation’s Safety Message Contest. Back for the second year in a row, safety messages can be submitted at azdot.gov/signcontest through Feb. 26.

We're embracing the Valentine's Day spirit on our overhead message boards with a reminder to drive safely.
