Texas transportation officials are using lighthearted, festive messages on electronic road signs to remind drivers of the dangers of highway travel.
The sign reads:
“Only Rudolph should drive lit.”
The signs are a sobering reminder of the state's highway fatality rate. One person has been killed daily on Texas highways in a car accident for the last 18 years, according to highway officials.
"It's heartbreaking to know that every day for the past 18 years someone has lost a spouse, child, friend or neighbor on our state's roadways," James Bass, executive director of the Texas Department of Transportation, said in a release.
This is not the first time an electronic road sign in Texas grabbed drivers’ attention.
In June, a sign read: “Awwww snap your seat belt.”
