In New York State, texting and driving has become a serious issue. In an attempt to fight the growing problem, Governor Cuomo says the state Thruway will provide 91 signs dedicated to texting rest stops.


The signs will point how many miles to a designated texting location in order to remind people to fight the urge to answer a text while driving. The effort is to notify drivers that rest stops, parking areas and other pull over areas are not only for resting but also for catching up on texts.

Cuomo tells WXXI the signs will say, “It can wait.” This displays the importance of driving safely and the dangers of distracted driving.  Other signs will list penalties for texting while driving such as a $150 fine and up to five points off on your driver’s license.
