The Highway Administration Humor Allowance Act would nullify a specific traffic safety standard issued by the Federal Highway Administration in December 2023. The bill targets Provision 04 of section 2L.07 of the Manual on Uniform Traffic Control Devices, which sets standards for messages displayed on highway signs. By removing the force and effect of this provision, the bill would allow highway administrators greater flexibility in crafting traffic safety campaign messages, presumably to permit more humorous or creative content on roadway signs. The legislation was introduced in January 2024 and referred to the House Committee on Transportation and Infrastructure. The bill contains no specific funding allocations or implementation timelines, functioning instead as a straightforward regulatory override.
