Because the pop culture references confuse people.
They didn’t ban punny things outright, but asked they be broadly understandable
“Why are you trying to have the federal government come in and tell us what we can do in our own state? Prime example that the federal government is not focusing on what they need to be.”
Bro needs to look up the meaning of the word discourage
God forbid Federal Highway Administration or the Department of Transportation actually work on removing distractions along highways....
Meanwhile we still have whatever the hell this is.
Never read The Great Gatsby?
Maybe is missing a second part, like "Jesus is watching you" or maybe "Patrick is watching you and he doesn't like what he sees".
Discourage means: Make guidelines to follow for humourous messages, like "don't make a reference too specific for everyone to get"
I thought it was more like "don't distract drivers on the highway"
Yeah exactly. Who would have thought that the guidelines would advise that? Inconceivable! 😅

The greater good
Shut it!
I'm the greatest good you're ever gonna get
The public is in danger!
Now get rid of billboards.
