Seen on the Northway, I-87 north of Albany:
Official NY State road signs:
IT CAN WAIT
TEXT STOP 5 MI
and then 3 miles later:
TEXT STOP
REST STOP 2 MI
Other signs say that 3 texting violations will result in license suspension.
Signs of the times.
Seems like a good idea. Telling people not to do stupid things never works, but telling them if they wait five minutes they won’t have to can work.
I don’t think it will help; I stand by my belief that the only thing that will stop texting/talking on the cellphone is jammers in cars. Depending on people to do the right thing doesn’t work.
ETA: The signs are a good idea, though - there’s a chance it might stop a few people.
