"Lawmakers and States Push Back Against Federal Highway Sign Rules"
TL;DR

Thomas Kean Jr. penned a letter to the Federal Highway Administration expressing concerns about a new traffic safety rule that restricts humorous or pop culture-related messages on road signs, citing "unnecessary federal overreach." They argue that state departments of transportation should have the flexibility to tailor messaging for their residents and request clarification on the reasoning behind the decision.
