More about Transguide

I think that I have the funniest random thoughts during my commute to work in the morning. Sometimes these random thoughts involve the Transguide signs that are on the highway. The purpose of these signs it to alert drivers to dangers on the road and occasionally to have an Amber Alert about a missing or kidnapped child. I think, and I believe I have blogged about this before, that the Transguide, or TXDOT people could be a bit more creative when they write messages on those signs. I also believe that they should use the signs as a way to remind drivers to be safer and more friendly when they drive. But they should, of course, present this information in a catchy way that will be easily remembered. For example, many people have trouble in the morning remembering to use their turn signal when they change lanes, for this I would have them write "Be a thinker, use your blinker." Or, lately they have been flashing a message reminding drivers to pull over or slow down when they see an emergency vehicle, I think that could be translated to "If you see a cop, slow down or stop." I think they may have tried this sort of catchy phrase thing because a few weeks ago we were having a large amount of rain and the transguide sign said "If you see water on the road, turn around, don't drown." Now that has stuck with me and I think it may have worked to prevent people from driving through low water crossings. These are just my random thoughts so I thought I would post them and get to stop bounding around in my head. By the way, I found out that I passed my comprehensive exams. I just need to complete my electronic portfolio and turn that in, and then I'll be completely DONE! Until later, when a random thought may occureth again...
