Realistic New Road Signs Placed Around Northgate

Last Friday, Northgate goers were surprised  by a new LED road sign was set up on South College Avenue reading “Please try to sober up a little before driving.” City officials say the sign is part of their new “realistic action plan” regarding inebriated driving.

Eyewitnesses say the sign also flashed several other messages, including “try to come down from your high before getting into your car” and “Please make sure to eat something before you drive home.”

“Drinking and driving has been a problem in this town for years,” Deputy Sheriff Randy Bucksen said in an interview Saturday morning. “We hope with our new action plan, we can actually encourage students to try the bare minimum before driving home.”

More new signs were added in other areas of Northgate, including one that reads, “Hey! Maybe you shouldn’t drink and drive?” and another stating, “You probably shouldn’t be doing that.”
