Illinois Tollway Asks Drivers to Vote on Safety Messages For Roadway Signs

The Illinois Tollway asked customers to submit creative slogans that warn against impaired driving, distracted driving and not wearing seatbelts, and submissions have been narrowed down to five finalists in each category.

The winning messages will be displayed in lights on 37 overhead roadway signs along the 286-mile Tollway system for the rest of 2015.

The top entries were posted to the Tollway’s website so motorists can submit votes for the signs they want to see in each of the three categories:

Distracted Driving
