VDOT wins day with Star Wars reference in highway signs

Thursday night, Star Wars: The Last Jedi opened in theaters. The saga’s eighth installment had the second biggest Thursday opening ever, earning $45 million according to CNN.

On Friday, the Virginia Department of Transportation updated their digital highway signs with a Star Wars pun: Speeding leads to the dark side. Reader Natasha was the first to tweet out a photo of the sign.

Well played, indeed.

The good PR is probably needed after dynamic tolls on Interstate 66 hit $40 this week.
