KNOXVILLE, Tenn. (WATE) — Speeders in Tennessee may be getting coal for Christmas with this new safety sign.
Recently, the Tennessee Department of Transportation held a “Make Travel Bright” contest to create a new safety sign for roadways. After more than 1,000 entries and hundreds of votes, they announced the winner :
“HE SEES YOU WHEN YOU’RE SPEEDING”
As to whether Santa’s flying sleigh will be subject to Tennessee’s speed limits, TDOT has yet to comment.
Runners up included:
- All I want for Christmas is You. Drive Safe!
- FA LA LA LA LA Don’t drink and drive
- Waiting to text is the ultimate flex. Put down your phone.
“If you see the sign while traveling around the state, we hope it reminds you to follow the speed limit, drive safely, and practice a little extra patience,” TDOT posted. “We want everyone to get to their destinations this holiday season.”
