Catchy Traffic Safety Slogans
Early in my professional career, I was a registered professional
traffic engineer in the states of Texas and Arizona. And part of my
duties, while working for state and city transportation agencies as
well as in the private sector for traffic engineering consulting firms,
was to design traffic signals, traffic signs, and pavement markings to
ensure the safety of our streets and highways.
Also, for a few years I was even licensed through the National Safety
Council as a Defensive Driving Course instructor. Needless to say,
developing a strong traffic safety consciousness was part of that work,
and which I have carried with me to this day, even though I haven’t
worked as a traffic safety engineer in over 3 decades now.
One of the fun things about working in the traffic safety field was
learning and sharing interesting, catchy traffic safety slogans that I
became aware of through the years. While reminiscing about some of
those catchy traffic safety slogans that seem to be etched into my
tiny, aging brain perhaps for eternity, a few years ago I thought it might be cool
to build a webpage about them someday.
So I started making a list of my favorites, and what you see on this
page is just the start of my own personal compilation of catchy traffic
safety slogans that I learned on the job, ones I've actually seen on
the highways, and others I've heard on the radio or come across on the
internet.
For the ones that I actually saw with my own eyes on a traffic sign, I
have indicated the state where I saw them and in cases where I can
still remember when, also the year.
I hope you enjoy them as much as I’m now having to add them to this
page.  Please check back again
in the future for new ones that I will place at the very top of the
list. Enjoy!
