REMINDER: MDOT Safety Message Contest ends June 11
JACKSON, MISS. – The Mississippi Department of Transportation (MDOT) is still accepting all of your punny, witty, and clever safety messages! MDOT’s Safety Message Contest ends June 11 so there is still time to submit your best messages.
MDOT’s traffic safety messages, which are often related to current events and pop culture, are part of an effort to encourage drivers to change their actions behind the wheel. Over 90 percent of vehicle crashes are caused by driver decisions, such as speeding, driving aggressively, distracted or impaired.
There is no limit to the number of messages you can submit, but there are some guidelines to remember:
- The message must relate to traffic safety.
- Signs can only accommodate three lines and 21 characters per line, including spaces.
- Hashtags, phone numbers and website addresses are not allowed.
- No emojis.
To enter, head over to GoMDOT.com/MDOTcontest. After entries have been submitted, MDOT will select the top five messages, and each will be displayed on overhead signs along Mississippi highways. The winning messages will also be posted on MDOT social media.
