Look up! Caltrans has an awareness message for you about the coronavirus
Caltrans launched a statewide educational campaign today in response to the state’s declared emergency about the coronavirus (COVID-19).
Caltrans is urging Californians to “be more diligent about containing the spread of the virus.”
More than 700 electronic highway signs across the state’s freeways and highways will display the following messages:
COVID-19 / LESS IS MORE / AVOID GATHERINGS and DISINFECT / 2 PROTECT / WASH YOUR HANDS
The electronic signs will show the messages on a rotational basis when there are no critical emergency, traffic safety messages or Amber Alerts, officials say.
“In support of the Governor’s declared emergency, Caltrans is taking proactive measures to help protect the public,” said Caltrans Director Toks Omishakin. “Using our highway message signs, we are reminding Californians how to help limit the spread of COVID-19.”
