'Messages From Mom' on freeway signs aim to curb distracted driving
"Messages From Mom" are lighting up Oregon's freeway signs.
Drivers, beware: Mom's watching.
According to KTVL, Oregon's freeway signs are lighting up with mom-inspired advice under a state Department of Transportation campaign to put the brakes on distracted driving.
The project, dubbed "Messages From Mom," includes missives such as, "Drop the phone because I said so, that's why" and "Put the phone away, I'm going to count to 3."
