That page almost looks like anyone can submit a message. That's a pretty good idea.
I think the message has a more positive impact if it emphasizes positive things or uses humor. Texas, with their focus on depressing stats with no context, loses out by alienating drivers.
- owlninja 3y agoTexas resident, in my experience they display those stats when nothing else is going on. So mostly right now they are always about staying indoors to avoid the heat or that the air quality is low so limit activity. They actually do all sorts of jokes or mention some major event in the area, like Texas vs. OU. I personally just appreciate the traffic warnings.
- doodlebugging 3y agoThe article says they display those stats monthly beginning one week before their monthly meeting. Anyway fellow Texan, I too appreciate the traffic data the most. Just tell me before I get to my exit whether I should consider a different route due to traffic or unusual events. Provide actionable information and stop all the dumbass silver warnings and missing person shit unless it can clearly be demonstrated that those warnings have helped locate a missing person or an old person who just needed to get away.
