This might be OK, but there is enough clutter and distractions out there already.

 

Proposed 'Yellow Alert' could help authorities track down hit-and-run drivers

Every year in California there are thousands of hit-and-run cases -- drivers leaving the scene of a traffic crash where someone is badly, or even fatally injured.

 

Supporters of a new law believe a "Yellow Alert" system will help authorities track down and arrest hit-and-run drivers. Assem. Mike Gatto, D- Los Angeles, is pushing for a new law that would create a "Yellow Alert" system.

 

The alert would include electronic freeway signs that are already used during Amber Alerts for kidnappings. Information about hit-and-run vehicles involved in traffic crashes would be broadcast in nearby areas to help catch the drivers.

 

Families of hit-and-run victims believe this will help.

A VETERAN Whether active duty, retired, national guard or reserve - is someone who, at one point in their life, wrote a blank check made payable to "The United States of America" for an amount "up to and including their life". That is HONOR, and there are way too many people in this country who no longer understand it. -Author unknown-

I don't see a problem with that as long as it doesn't apply to a property damage type of hit-and-run.

Terrible idea. Too much stuff on the road. child nappings lose importance if always seeing the boards lit up.
