We’re all used to seeing silver alerts and traffic warnings on electronic roadway signs but over the years Texas’ Department of Transportation has become more creative with its messages.
Whether it’s a holiday or pandemic, TxDOT has a message for every occasion.
Here are some signs seen on Texas roadways in the last year:
