What does this actually mean?
10 1 ReplyIt's referring to phone operation. Drivers are mandated to use a hands-free system like a headset or car speaker.

8 0 ReplyThat's what I was wondering, and hoping. Otherwise what state (or province?) isn't already enforcing distracted driving rules?
5 0 ReplyI-464 is entirely in Virginia (I don't know what the of shields mean to look them up.
Virginia brought in hands free 1 Jan 2021, so this photo could be 31 Dec 2020, but I don't think Virginia is warm enough to dress like that in Jan.
Edit: there are a fucking lot of states without hands free laws - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Restrictions_on_cell_phone_use_while_driving_in_the_United_States
5 0 ReplyInteresting! Though on closer inspection that sign appears to be interstate 494, which is based out of Minnesota. Wikipedia says their hands-free traffic law took effect on August 1st 2019. That time of year, quality of photo, and car models seem to line up with that image.
7 0 ReplyThat says 494, not 464.
3 0 ReplyEdit: I see a 494 near a 62 in Minnesota. Don’t see a 24 there though.
1 0 ReplyThats cause the top one is a 26. We also have a nasty habit of changing named roads to numbered if looking at it from gmaps.
2 0 Replylol I was correcting the other guy for getting 494 wrong. Now I also made a booboo :(

It was a weird time. Everyone made a big deal out of having to hold their phone while driving but hands-free was a readily available alternative.
