Another swing and miss
But while going that direction, in some parts of the country they put rumble strips all the way across the lane. Kind of annoying if you are paying attention, but likely lifesavers.
The state highway past one of my favorite CGs, repaved with rumble strip center line and next to both shoulders. surprised by the number of people that drive by braille..

Young, they will adjust. How about for the rest off your life every possible employer will know that you where not qualified to get in the school you listed? Or that you had to threaten all the schools you went to you would sue if they released your grades?

Saftey Zone
My favorite is the "Safety Zone". Apparently, safety is optional on the rest of the interstate but required in said "Zones".

If you really want to get an extra hour of daylight, simply drive due west very quickly.

Occasionally the illuminated traffic advisory signs say: Report Drunk Drivers, Call 911.
Should we administer a sobriety test first?
Should we pull over to make the call?
Wheres that breathalyzer when you need it?

That sign is for self reporting. A drunk knows when he's drunk.

If the sign is indeed addressing drunks telling/demanding them to self-report, then the state needs to correct the grammar so it reads, "Report, Drunk Drivers. Call 911." Presumably, that would include "she drunks" as well, whether she knows she's drunk, or she knows he's drunk; or the drunk knows whether he's a he or a she, or whether she's a she or a he. Do we as citizens of the state whose highway department is planting these signs really want to be responsible for the drunks who have or cause accidents because they are attempting to read and understand that sign while operating a vehicle of some sort on our highways? Man, I need another drink to figure this out.

Oh NO!!! I've been banking at Sun Bank all this time thinking I could someday withdraw all those saved hours when I needed them. This is bad dark news.

Sometimes you just can't find any sign of humor in folks.
Those folks are still looking for a sign pointing to humor school!! Perhaps the grammar was bad in all those signs too and just missed them.
