The two messages that receive the most votes will be displayed statewide.
“For the past four years the safety message contest has generated tremendous engagement with the public, and it’s wonderful to see,” ADOT Director John Halikowski said in a press release.
“We want to see people thinking and talking about safe driving, and the contest helps further that effort.”
Last year’s winners featured Mitzie Warner of Chandler, who wrote “Drive like the person your dog thinks you are” and David Posey of San Tan Valley, who submitted “Drink & drive? Meet police and see new bars.”
