Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy sent a letter on July 1 to all 50 state governors, the mayor of Washington, D.C., and the governor of Puerto Rico urging them to remove political messaging from intersections and crosswalks.

“Roads are for safety, not political messages or artwork,” Duffy said in a statement. “Today, I am calling on governors in every state to ensure that roadways, intersections, and crosswalks are kept free of distractions.”
