The Mississippi Department of Transportation said it posted summer travel safety tips delivered by the children of MDOT team members.
MDOT said the youngsters, described in the post as being under 4 feet tall, handed over toy car keys and offered short safety reminders aimed at drivers preparing for summer trips.
The agency encouraged motorists to take a moment to listen to the children’s messages and to use the MDOT Traffic app to help make summer travel easier, MDOT said.
In its social media post, MDOT included several travel-related hashtags, including #SummerTravel and #DriveSmartMS, the agency said.
